Went back in, and cleaned the entire assembly (that I could get to) Bought the same can of MAF cleaner, and it did run better, but nowhere near where it was.
Got back into town and went straight over to the mechanic's. They showed me some fuel they'd pumped out of the tank... nasty. Think my local chevron has been watering their gas to recoup some high fuel cost losses. That coupled with a bad fuel filter...
Throttle body was filthy as hell, and the 1st, 3rd and 4th cylinders were kicking off poorly. Changed the spark plugs, and that's cleared up.
It's running better, but it again, is nowhere near where it was before 2 weeks ago.
I've ordered the MAF sensor, and as soon as this last bit of bad gas is out of my tank, I'm dumping more lucas and a fresh tank of the best gas I can get my hands on and see if that helps. The MAF sensor is going in as soon as it gets here.
Thanks for the help.
