I just bought this car thinking it was a great deal. It has 152,000 miles on it, but ran great. I?ve never seen a car with this many miles so clean and run so smooth. No knocks, ticks, nothing. I think the driver?s CV is on the outs, but that?s not too bad. I brought it home today and it ran fine until it started shuddering and cutting back everytime the engine got to about 4000 rpm. In park and neutral it starts to do it around 3500 and when you get to 4000 or higher it?s really bad. The engine shudders violently and starts to die until you let off it. I got a check engine light. The codes read a low input on the MAF and bank 1 running lean. I checked to maf and cleaned it, but didn?t want to replace it just yet. ($135). I drove it around for a bit and the codes haven?t come back, but it?s still doing it. Any ideas where to look?
