So Yesterday I layed into my 87 GN like never before (only had it about a month now). Pulled over a bit to cool it off. As I was pulling away it sputtered a bit in acceleration. Got worse, got to the point to where I was gonna pull over on the interstate but I made it home. The idle was kinda rough too but not as bad as accelerating. I couldnt believe it, I was thinking the worse, the motor is rebuilt only about a 1000 on it and I blew the thing apart. Then other ideas started to cross my mind. So after hearing that the MAF is a common one for this problem. I messed around with it, tapped it and the engine was reacting to it (sputter) then I disconnected it, ran smoother, connected it and stalled. I see a light now and releaved that its not looking like something internal. I don't have any codes and I dont have a scanmaster yet. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and get a MAF, the thing I'm wondering though is why would this go bad just because I layed into the pedal, thoughts?
