whats up people?  my name is john,  i have an 89 lx convertible, aod, i just dropped a motor out of the 97 explorer in it,  right now it runs like crap,  but i'll get it going right eventually.  i put 1.7 rockers, 3.55 gear, underdrive pullies, cold air,  flowmaster exhaust with cats because cincinnati used to do the smog crap.  if anyone wants my h pipe,  ill trade ya for a good x pipe or h pipe and some long tubes.  right now the car is actin up.  when driving around,  and i go to speed up,  it starts to hesitate, and stutters.  i replaced the fuel filter so far and still does it,  someone told me to check the maf.  if any of you have any ideas,  let me know,  i need all the help i can get. for which im not mechanically inclined lol..

Do you know how to clean your MAF?  If not, get back. 

[SNAKEPIT]

no,  is it easy?

[Soaring]

Yes it is.  You just remove your MAF which is located between the air cleaner and the EFI, and use a special spray cleaner you can get from a parts place, then use a cotton swab to clean it.  It will most likely  have all kinds of oil and shit on it that needs to come off.  You will need a special Torx tool to take it off.  Here is where it is located and what it looks like.

if you want a new off road hpipe just take the old hpipe to the scrap man and sell it you will make a few dollars just cut them off the pipe and your golden most cats bring 35-40 so it will pay the cost for the new part since you have 4 there
