ummm i have a question or two.

ok my car gets about 16 miles to a gallon normally or for the past 2 weeks that ive been 16 and driving it. but before those two weeks the check engine light was on and it was gettin horrible gas mileage. it just went off one day and it got pretty good gas mileage. but now the check engine light came back on and im back down to 10.3 miles to a gallon and it runs like crap. all of my horse power is basically gone i hit the gas and it just creeps along but before it came on id hit the gas and it would squat down and leave fast.what do u guys think? could it possibly be the MAF Sensor? thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

When the light comes on, a trouble code is stored in the computer. Retrieve that code or codes, and we'll go from there.

If you don't know how to retrieve trouble codes, go to www.thirdgen.org, click on the "FAQ" button in the left margin, scroll down toward the bottom where that is discussed.
