00 max with 180,000 miles. Car has been acting crazy for over a month. The car will start, will stay crunk as long as you're giving it a little gas. Take your foot of the gas, and it cuts off. The car died on the freeway, i had to get it towed home. For the last month, the car shut down on me a couple times. After trying to crank it for a minute or so, it would turn over and run fine. One time it stopped at a red light, would only stay on when giving it some gas. I was a block from work, so i drove it to work with one foot on the gas and brake, and after sitting up for a couple of hours, it started and drove fine. 2 days before it died, i started the car and it was running rough, missing and stuttering. The ses light finally came on, i had it scanned and got a 1320 and 301 code. Bad coil and misfire on cylinder one, right. 2 days later, like i said, the car died on the freeway. I have replaced all spark plugs and the 1st cylinder coil. Heck, in fact i only have 1 coil that i havent replaced (cylinder 4) and i've swapped them around so i dont think its a coil problem. Any advice is welcome. Remember, the car starts, will run as long as you're giving it a little gas. Will not idle without giving it gas... Any suggestions...... Maf sensor was replaced once at about 80,000 miles. I had already replaced 2 coils, when this happened i replaced 3 more, will probably get the last one off ebay later this week... PLEASE HELP....

are you referring to the iacv, or is this another censor? how much did it cost?

The one common component in what you're describing may be the ECM relay. The ECM relay is in the relay box in front of the battery and is labelled.

i had the car towed to the stealership today - diagnosis was a bad iacv and possibly the maf. Also said that it was possible that the ecm may have been burned out, but they wouldn't know until they replaced the other stuff. $945 price tag to get fixed, and that doesn't include the ecm if it was bad.. I just had the car towed back home... I'll try to fix it myself..
