Hey guys, Ive been trying to figure this out for a while now. I have a 97 2.3l with a rough idle/low rpms (stalls out idling until warmed up but still very sluggish at low rpms). If I reset the ecu it runs much better but starts throwing the codes again in about 30 miles. After around 2000 rpms it starts to run better. It is throwing a maf code and two o2 sensor codes (running rich). If I unplug the maf there is no difference in how the engine runs. I replaced the maf on a whim a few months ago but it didn't fix the problem. I checked the voltage on the wires going to the maf- they are all good, 0.9v at idle, 2v at 4000 rpm. My guesses are vacuum leak or or bad plugs. I looked around and didn't see any unplugged vacuum lines. Any ideas?
