    Update: i have changed out the burnoff relay and the mass airflow sensor. the weird thing is that the code was cleared and it worked for about a day. then the idle went all off again. The old air sensor was dirty as crap and led me to thinking. since its not showing any codes anymore, i may have...

    Maf burn off relay

    Thats what i was trying to fix. it cleared the code. but over the winter it sprung an oil leak somewhere in the engine. I cant let it run for a while or even drive it until that leak is fixed. so i dont know if the code is totally gone yet.

    Been a while but i have a new mass airflow sensor and relay on the way. the airflow sensor is a no brainer to change. just have to figure out how to change a relay now. after that i will have all the grounding checked out.

    The 'computer' (ECU, OBD, etc) is dumb - it cannot intelligently diagnose where a system is failing or why and this i totally agree with. 100% hang tight my friends. i will make a video tomorrow.

    Jeremiad i agree that the wires may need changing. im not ruling that out. but that will not clear a code 36 off the dash warning. nor will a battery change. the car has never needed boosting nor did i say it has. it just gets very scary sitting at a red light. its also just a pain to start...
