Exclamation Idle problem and throttle response problems???

So i just put in my AFM and my car started up fine and idled fine so i drove around

and floored it just to have some fun b/c my car was running again then about a

half hour later my car died at a stop light then it took around 10 to 15sec to start

then it started and i tried flooring it again and theres no response it takes a while

just to get to 40mph while flooring it and so i get to my house and its idling

crappy like jumping from 1000rpm to 1500 rpm constantly and sometimes dies

any solutions???

PLEASE HELLPPP!!!

well if your oil pressure gauge stopped reading or reads low after the whole car not cranking and idling bad thing, then it could be osmething serious internaly

eeek. No oil pressure.... bad news man.

I would check the guage and sensor. if they are in good working order and you still get low oil pressure readings... you might end up rebuilding something.

the sending unit is below the oil filter(it sends a signal for how much oil pressure), there should be a yellow wire that is clipped on a lot of times the clip can fall off. And now it sounds like your secondary injectors aren't kicking in so now check the pressure sensor to see if it's not plugged in or maybe the vacuum line came off.

There's a black sensor on the passenger wheel well with the number 327 or something, check to see if maybe the vacuum line came off or check the connectors might have some corrosion on them or maybe its a bad sensor.

glad to hear your oil pressure is reading correctly again.

You stole his name man........ that's uncanny. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
But seriously look around wherever you were just working in the engine bay, even if you only worked on the AFM u might have unknowingly unplugged/kinked/bent/ripped off/lost/killed something else with your elbow or tool. Look for any unkkoked connectors that should be plugged in, look for jumpers that should be taken out, anything leaking, dripping, smelly??

Good luck.
Happy new years.
