Cars running, still need some help on problems with it.
today i put the egr back on, fired it fired no idle. I looked around, couldnt find anything. I checked the codes...running 32, 34, and 54. I checked the MAF. unplugged and tried to fire. Guess what, it idles. ill be not very well but still idles. I drove it, and low RPMS the brakes lose the power assist. The car also has no power in 1 or 2nd.. i chirped on the shift to 3, which was odd. I just completed the 1.6 rockers and this was the last step. Ive been having those codes previously but not the idle problem. i do know i have some broken emissions hoses though. Ideas?

only thing i can say is that your MAF is probably bad..
i'm getting essentially the same codes as you, and it probably runs the same... when you step on the gas more and more it just bogs even worse? sputtering.. but a decent idle... mine doesn't idle 'too' good but it's enough that I can pretty much leave it alone once it runs for a minute..
very erratic idle when first started, running rich?
if that's how your car runs, i feel your pain, lol... I think my car is having trouble with the MAF too, actually..
