I have a 1995 eclipse GS-T and recently my car will randomly start running weird. It will idle down at what looks like 0-20 rpm's but it won't stall and when you go to take off or give it WOT it will sputter and take forever to gain mph. If I slam the throttle and hold it the rpm's will sputter and then just fly up and then the cars fine for 3-4 hours and then it will do it again. Is my butterfly getting stuck closed? Its throwing the MAF sensor code but it will only throw if I don't slam the gas and clear the problem. So i'm guessing that its only throwing the MAF sensor code because the MAF sensor is getting starved of air. Its quite odd I boosted 14 psi all day today driving around without a problem then on the way home it acted up. I slammed the gas and its been fine since. Any ideas guys?

 

no suggestions?

 

i would try cleaning the throttle body with some carb cleaner and see if it fixes it.

 

Might be the TB or the MAF?

 

Mine does the same but i cant remember what the guy at the shop said. its something in the throttle body like eci i dont know but i would like to see how this turns up because i need to know too.

 

Its rare that it happens but its definitely something that didn't just go away or fix itself. I'm just gonna buy a 1g throttle body and port my intake mani, turbo, o2 housing, and exhaust mani at the same time. Problem solved. Thanks guys.
