the first thing i would do would possibly be check your plugs and wires and if not that get your fuel filter changed, my 93 ssei would stall on start up and sputter at red lights when i had an old fuel filter and getting it changed fixed everything

maby, but check with danathurs first, but you might have to change your O2 sensor

What type of computer did you run? Was there a code number?

Clean the MAF off with a MAF Spray Cleaner and then clear the code.

It also sounds like you might have a fule filter that needs to be replaced as well.

If the trouble returns replace the O2 sensor and also look for vacuum leaks.
