ok, so when i was on my way home from zzp yesterday i got about 20 minutes from them and my car just died. The rpm's just dropped all the way to zero and the whole car died, no hesitation what so ever, just died(shut off, no power ne thing!). so i went back there to see if they could help me fix it, well they said either the maf is bad or the ignition wires on the side of the motor by the balancer have been rubbed through by the balancer. They said that if the problem continues to unplug the maf and run it without that and you will know that it is your maf. Well when it did it again, i unplugged the maf and it wouldnt even start, so i figured that would be it.

So, i left there and drove for an hr and a half and then it died again. I pulled over, shut it off for a couple minutes and started it back up just fine. Went about another 2 miles and it shut off again, so i shut it off for a couple minutes and started it back up just fine.

Drove another 45 minutes, decided to buy a new MAF from autozone($140), installed the new MAF and i forgot to plug it in and it started up just fine. I was looking at my scan gauge and i was wondering why i wasnt getting any readings from the MAF. So i go and look under the hood just before the freeway and i noticed that i forgot to plug the MAF in. So, i plugged it back in and then i drove off thinking that was it, seeing as the old one wouldnt even run without the maf plugged in. So i drive about another 10 minutes and it shut off again. SO i turned it off and sat for a couple minutes, then turned it back on and it started a little rough but it started. I THEN went another 10 minutes and it shut off again. Well, when i was at autozone, the code said "MAF, MAP, or vac leak".

When i was at ZZP, Matt told me that i didnt need the vac line from the fuel rail to the bbv, so he bypassed it. So, when the code said vac leak, i thought, "hmmm, maybe its seeing that as a vac leak." So, i put that vac line back on and it wouldnt even start. So, i put everything back to the way it was and it started just fine. After this last time of staling it threw 2 codes, (p0101, p0102). After that i drove ALL the way home WITHOUT boost(thinking maybe it was a bad MAP), and when i got home i thought i would try it with boost and nothing happened. Car never died and it ran fine the WHOLE way home(2.5 hrs).

SOOOO, today, i went and started up the car and let it idle for a bit and the code disappeared. I drove it around for 10 minutes or so and it died on me again. I shut the car off let it sit for about a minute and it wouldnt even start. I turned it off again, let it sit for a minute and it started up but rough. I came home, shut it off, let it sit, and it started up but rough.

IM REALLY CONFUSED!!!

Could it be a bad PCM?
