Ok, my truck has been running like crud lately... well yesterday (on my way back from having my 'check engine' light code read) it started stalling at every stop!! RPM's bounce from 500 to 1200+ at a stop (when it runs). The guy at Autozone said the engine code read as "Lean bank 1 and Lean bank 2". I had figured it was the MAF and the dude concluded the same (with his explaination that there aren't too many things that would make both banks burn lean). I tried cleaning it; no joy. So I get the new MAF in, and still no joy (out $130 now). I cleaned the throttle body and air filter. No help. My neighbor says do all the plug wires, plugs and ignition coil, then see how it is. He seems to think I could have a cylinder not firing and that is why the computer is trying to compensate with the erratic reving. Is this possible or probable? I got the wires and plugs because I figured they're due anyways, I haven't bought a coil yet; I just don't want to spend $350 and still have it not fixed. I've researched this on here and still have the same conclusions.
Any other ideas? I can't drive the truck at all until I fix it!! Thanks.
Man it sucks to be only moderately mechanically inclined:frustrate
