Thread: Car Lunges Forward And Doesn't Hold Idle

Hey guys,

My car was fine this morning, but I drove it a couple of minutes ago and it lunges and sounds like it's about to turn off.

It seems like there isn't much power or getting enough gas. It basically feels like I don't know how to drive 5 speed. I was thinking that this might be a fuel filter or gas pump problem. Any ideas? I also left it on, opened the hood and it shut off.

Thank you for any help!!

Let's go with MAFS?

Do you think there would be any other possibility? I also have a knock sensor code, but it's been there for months and not triggering a CEL or causing problems.

Any other codes being thrown besides the knock sensor code?

That's been the only code for the past couple of months.

Got it fixed. Turned out that the plastic intake tube was disconnected from the MAF.

Thanks for your help!!
