I've got car problems please help!!!

my car starts up when cold like a top fuel dragster. runs like crap and my gas mileage is terrible. just changed my O2 a month ago and injectors and new as of this year. recently rebuilt engine also. seems just as i did my headers, i started having problems. they don't have AIR if that could have anything to do with it. I'm not sure what the deal is. i just want it to run right for once. better gas mileage and normal stgart up is what i want. thanx

Top fuel dragster haha. That was exactly the term I used to describe my cars behavior when it had a bad mass air flow sensor. Make sure it is plugged in I have forgoten it many times. It might be bad too. Hope this helps some.

haha. well, i didn't know where to post it and i was too pissed to look and find the engine tech room thing. lol anyway, i jave gotten the MAF code. code 34 to be excact. this being bad can cause it to idle this bad? it runs fine after a few minutes or so of warming up. but takes forever to warm up... not too mention that it semlls really bad like gas while this is happening. u think could be my fuel mileage problem also???? thanx
