You could try the tuned port injection board.

Boggle,

Are you still getting error codes? Typically, it is a good idea to inspect/test/replace the MAF power and burnoff relays whenever a MAF error code is encountered.

The first car sounds as if you have a fuel delivery problem. A quick fuel pressure test would answer that.

Need more information/decription on the second one, however.

I agree with Vader on fuel pressure on first car. does the car stay running after you spray fluid in it?

second car, when does it die, after you start driving or when it does into gear.
