could be fuel related, or as i said earlier a coil fault, distributor cap, leads plugs or a sensor, so i would start with a diagionstic scan as this may give a little more information on the fault.

i did scan check again and the malfunction was only air massive sensor .also, the rate of air pressured was 10.4 when the required which is needed is 8 . so what do you think about the air massive sensor ? and how can i check if it is just need something to be fixed or repaired and how can i repair the air massive sensor ??
thank you in advance

if the air massive sensor reading rate is 10.4 since the required is must be 8 means the air massive sensor is defected??? can i clean it rather than buy new one since it is expensive ??
thank you again

if the MAF sensor reading is 10.4 kg/ and the required is 8 kg/ ,what does it mean? does it mean that the MAF does not work correctly and just cleaning ? or does it mean MAF is totally damaged and need new one ?
just to make sure is this rate of the air reading 10.4 is bad maf or it is just normal since the ideal rate is 8 kg/ ????
thanks alot for your help
