Still need help. Have cleaned the MAF and IAC, still cuts out and idles rough. Unpluged the MAF and it seemed to idle ok. So, I checked the MAF wires again and all looks fine, any advice?

The easiest place to start is checking for vacuum leaks. Get a propane torch DON'T light it. and wave it around the engine compartment. the released gas will be sucked into the engine if there is a vacuum leak and the engine will rev up as it burns the propane.

Have you figured anything out? I think i am having a similar problem with my 97 4.0 with auto tranny. When you let off the gas when driving it'll drop the RPM's and stall out, this problem did NOT happen gradually. Thanks.

I have pretty much the same problem, just a side question, I put in a cone style filter and I just unplugged the two lines that plugged into the airbox, are one of those or both vacuum lines? should I plug them and would that solve the problem?
