Are some simple tests for triage but generally takes two people or a remote starter button.
1) remove engine cover. Place hand over intake, crank - do you feel suction (can use a piece of cardboard it have delicate hands)
2) Pour some gas (1/2 oz) into MAF taking care to miss sensor. Crank. does it fire or struggle ?
Report back on what happens (or find a neighborhood gearhead).
i truely appreciate the helpful tips...i will try these tasks. Perhaps i should order the new Bosch CPS first, just for safe measure.
