well it started off as something minor but it has progressed pretty quick lately. my car used to run rich every now and then but it would stop after a couple minutes off driving. now i start it up and its already running like poo. so im thinking its about time to clean the MAF again, and proceeded to do so with no avail. this problem is very weird, its so off and on and VERY inconsistent. it practically never runs smooth at all anymore unless ive been driving steady w/o stopping, but as soon as i stop, it runs bad again. the idles ok, just a little low around 700 but not jumpy. and i just have absolutely no power. its very laggy and jumpy even with smooth throttle control. do you guys have any idea? i want to get this fixed asap. do you think spark plugs could be the suspect?? if so that would be great, i have some ngk v powers, some msd wire and a tfi coil waiting to go on. and off course the other odds and ends with a tune up. or do you think it is something else?? like maybe my timings off? but i thought if that were to happen it would always run bad when running and not go from good to bad. but now its pretty much always bad

thanks for all your input and help, you guys always pull through. looking forward to hearing you answers

Any time the car starts running bad, It's good to start with a good tune-up and go from there. Cleaning the MAF and IAC at the same time too. and ck timing. (your doing all that). see if you have any codes too.
Do you have a k&n style filter you have to oil?
