maf relay/sensor
guys my car is acting wieerd 87 350 firbird
well anyhow
i start it itll go up and then stall, once its kinda semi idling good if i tap the gas it almost stalls depending on how much gas i give it
if i put it to the floor itll hit about 190 rpm :/
itll catch up but its scary itll make a pop noise in the intake then zooooommm to the rpm the gas was sposed to be, i just replaced the relays for the maf if i unplug it the throttle responds nicely....the idle is just rough
any advice guys
thanks !

A maf problem will trigger a code and a check engine light. Any vacuum leaks? Have you worked on the motor lately? Timing ok? Check the basics first, especially if you don't have a light on.

If you have a vacuum leak that is most likely your problem. Your getting "unmonitored" air throwing the idle off. What code is it?
