unplugged maf and drove to advance auto parts with same problem no change. got to advance and started getting irritated at prices, then my manager buddy who works there comes outside with me and starts looking around. pulls off passenger side pcv line (the only one i didnt replace because i didnt think of it) and finds this right at throttle body:
fixed it with a piece of fuel line that was a nice tight fit and drove around for 30 minutes with no problem...i feel like smacking myself in the face now.
im still replacing the fuel filter and i do want to get a spare maf because i dont want this to happen again.
thanks guys. if this evil gremlin comes back even after all of this i will repost
