Guys,
Have done quite a bit of searching this issue and notice it seems it could be any one of a dozen fixes. I am trying to narrow it down to the 3 most likely culprits.
Here's the scenario, driving to work today I notice a rough idle at stoplights, and in traffic, hmmm, odd. After I make a stop and restart it throws a "check engine", drive to work with sluggish/odd accleration problems, under load the "check engine" light starts blinking. It has never done this before, so I pull into the local autozone to get the code read, guy hooks it up and can't get anything to come up, I check the manual and see it's missing the fuse, pop one in, and still nothing. So at this time I am unable to have the codes read.
I get home and hop online and read up on a few things, dirty MAF, IAC, EGR, FPR, PCV vavle, seems like any or all could be the culprit. I disonnect the MAF and at first it revs like the beast it did before, then it goes into the stuttering throough the rpm band.
I'm thinking my next step is an EGR. Why, good guess.
It is a 2001, and I just turned 118,00. plugs and wires in July, it had never given me a moments problem except for a filthy IAC.
Any direction greatly appreciated.
