Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Pontiac Firebird, 2000 Chevrolet Corvette, and 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An intermittent problem can be caused by misrouted harness, rubbed-through wire insulation or broken wire inside insulation. Also, check for water entering air intake system to MAF sensor. Water rapidly cools hot wire in sensor, causing a false indication of excessive airflow.
