BAD MAF, OR is this normal?
So im still having sputtering/misfiring issues time to time.
Dizzy checks out good, sparks plugs are good, rotor is good, cap is good, plugs are new.
This is my question about the maf
Car runs about 900-1000 rpms with maf plugged in, a little shakey, and sometimes just suddenly dies.
So while the engine is running, i unplug the maf and the idles jumps up to 1,100 rpms and purrs really nicly, i hav also noticed that when the maf is unplugged it revs up way faster to 2,500 rpms. When the mafs plugged in it stumbles a little bit and then raises when i quickly WOT it. Now when i plug the maf back in the car instantly dies. Are these the signs of a bad maf???

I don't know much about your setup. But if you have a stock ECU, injectors, MAF, and pretty much everything else, I would say there is something up with the MAF. Try some CRC MAF cleaner, or you can look up some of the non-chlorinated brake cleaner method; but I have no personal experience with this and have only read about it. (saves you like 3 bucks)

So i found someone locally to swap mafs. And of course when i meet up with him, my car acts normal and dosesnt hesitate at all......... so irrataing... So i swapped mafs and it just seemed fine, like i didnt do anything at all. It seems intermentint.... SO my next step is to pick up some injectors, send them to detschwerks for cleaning and see if that does anychange.
QUESTION, THE REAR O2 SENSOR. ITS SMALLER THEN THE REGULAR O2 SENSOR.
WHERE CAN I FIND AN antifouler for it???? Quesiton is because i gutted my cat.

Up until you said it was intermittent I would have said to check for any vacum leaks. But that kinda changes things, if it had a leak it would be there all the time. maybe the wiring to the maf is messed up somewhere? Your injectors shouldn't cause it to hesitate when the maf is plugged in and then act normal when its unplugged.
