PLEASE HELP!!!

When the car is idling is runs rough, step on the gas and it hesitates. Once you get going the car runs like a dream, lots of power, good fuel economy.
I put a code reader on it and it came up with code 34 and code 41.
I need to fix but not much money.

Eeesh...code 41...cam position sensor. One of the worst, it could be as simple as a wonky cam position sensor, or as bad as the cam magnet being cracked or gone.

Hate to break it to ya, but, unless you have know-how and the right tools, Code 41 is a bad scene....trust me, I just dealt with it. I ignored my code 41 issues for 1 year, it cost me $850 dollars CDN.

If you can do it on your own, should be anymore then $100 to $150 bucks in parts

the code 34 is the Mass Air Flow sensor. This would definately explain your driveability problems.

34 means that your mass air flow sensor is indicating flow that is erroneously low. That may be shot as well.

Thanks for the advise. now where is the cam positioning sensor located, and how hard is it to fix on your own.

Hey United

Do you have the tools to do these repairs?

i probably don`t have the right tools. No matter how many tools i have, its never the right one.

Hmmm, you can probably do the MAF sensor on your own no prob. Maybe try saving up for the Cam positioing. I lived with it for about a year. :? the sputter accel sucks huh?

:( I have to live with the sputter accel too! I saw a thing in summit or jegs a while back that replaces your maf sensor and makes it react to mashing the throttle faster for faster throttle responce and it adjust your timing too. It was made by a high quality comapny and all but I don't know about it yet. I still havent taken my car to see what codes mine is throwing yet but it probably is a 41. I do have the tools to fix it though and will do it myself.

you can check you coodes on your own by doing the procedure in TECHINFO. it will work on cars up to 93.
