1995 S14 KA24DE engine light MAF hell

[berto1]

Hello,

my name is Alberto and I've owned my 1995 s14 since 1997. I recently moved to Long Beach for work, and my (near 200k) mile stock KA24de has decided to play some tricks on me.

1. Engine light came on while driving on the 5 from Nor Cal to So Cal. The car bogged, stuttered, lost power and finally died going up the grape vine. I prayed to every god, started the car back up, and made it to Long Beach with more stalling/bogging along the way.

2. Took it to Overseas Garage in LB (Andy, the owner, is great!) scanned it and the MAF came up. Checked wiring at the plug harness and noticed insulation on 2 wires had worn down causing metal to metal rubbing. I fixed the wiring and had the light turned off.

3. The car stuttered and bogged down on the freeway again, causing the light to come back on. This time I installed a rebuilt MAF and had the light cleared again.

4. Rebuilt MAF did nothing, car bogged and lost power on the freeway again going 70 on the 405. Only does this after warmed up and driven at least 15-20 minutes.

I'm at a loss... I am willing to spend the $$ on a new OEM MAF, if that is what the problem is. Ideas? At this point I'm no longer driving the car on the freeway because I don't want to get in an accident.
