Help.....3800 problem
Was driving home yesterday and hit a small hill. All of a sudden the car started losing power. Whenever I stepped on the gas pedal, the engine would almost stall. It would go fine as long as I didnt goose it a little bit. It would go easily over 50mph as long as I eased it up there. Got it home and thought it may have been the MAF sensor. Replaced it, same problem. Going to try the coil pack next....what do you guys think?

Checked the codes.
According to the codes, it has nothing to do with fuel, I think.
It threw codes:
code 21: Throttle position(TPS)voltage high
code 23: Intake air temperature(IAT)sensor low temp indicated
code 34: MAF sensor-voltage too low
What does this tell you?

Did you unhook the battery for a while when the new MAF sensor was put in? IAT next to the intake? Do you not have the stock air box with a hole for it to mount in? If you have an aftermarket intake, you absolutly must have a hole for the sensor to mount in.
You need to have the TPS voltage tested at idle and WOT.

Airbox is stock. Everything in the car is stock. I am the second owner of it, in 14/15 years. Im gonna unplug the battery again tomorrow, and try a new fuel filter. It could be plugged up. If not, then I will move onto your suggestions, thanks.
