    stalling all the time

    since i put the new maf in i have no trouble codes. i was getting "mixture too rich" codes before. when i changed the fuel filter the run out from the filter was black but the gas in the lines was clean. i siphoned out about 8 gal. because i thought i was going to have to drop the tank. that gas...
