car's running like shit, help...


so the MAF and TPS went bad. car wouldn't idle, when driving it hesitated and sounded like it was missing. the second i pressed the clutch it would shut right down. replaced the MAF, injectors, and TPS. now the car will start up cold, surge for a few seconds, then idle smooth. i can drive it easily for a little and it's fine, but 5 or so minutes of driving, once it heats up, it will out of nowhere surge all over and shut itself right off. it's a pain in the ass to start back up and again will surge shut off every time i press the clutch. i've had it smoke tested and there aren't any vacuum leaks.

i've been told it could be anything from a vacuum leak to a bad computer. any help would be greatly appreciated.

try

unplugging coolant temp sensor (bad sensor will give wrong amounts of fuel)

check hose going to map for cracks or breaks

ignition modual on the side of the distributor can heat up and cause some problems like that

could also be fuel pump shitting the bed

check your voltage at the TPS and the MAF sensors. those 2 are common for causing those problems. Ive seen cases where the wirng harness shorts out too.
