Ok my car was running great after I changed my injectors, fuel pump, and MAF. I was on my way to work and it started to run rough almost like a miss. I found a spark plug wire arcing onto the header so I fixed it, still running the same. I ohmed out the coil and found that it was bad so I replaced it, still the same running conditions. I thought that maybe my MSD box went bad so I bypassed it and still the same. Pulled the plugs and the #3 and #7 cylinder plugs looked a little cooked. I replaced the plugs and still nothing new. I pulled codes and nothing, I went into the quick fix section on the scanner and it said that the coolant temp sensor might be bad and cause the car to do the same thing that mine is doing. So I replaced the sensor and repaired the wires, they had rubbed together and were bare. Still the same old thing. The car has alot of power for the way it is running, it just shakes alot at idle and under any acceleration. The only other thing that I can think is that when the coolant temp wires made contact with each other it may have messed up the computer. NEED HELP

What kind of MAF is it? What kind of cold air intake is it? Lemme guess, it runs alright when its first fired up and cold? Then as it gets up to temp, it gets worse?

It is as 75mm PMAS MAF and it is a JLT True Cold Air. It is bad all the time, it gets no better or worse with different temp conditions.

Try clocking the MAF in 1/4 turn increments and see if it gets better.

I am having the exact same problem, it sounds like. Bone stock 95 convertible GT, except for flowmaster 3 chamber mufflers. No other mods. Excellently maintined for 146,000 smooth as glass, babied miles. I started the car up this morning and it had a rough idle, almost like a miss, and also with any acceleration. No service lights, no codes, no nothin'. :dunno:I changed the spark plugs, but no change whatsoever in the idle...PLEASE HELP...I can't have the car driving like this!!!
