My 74 (with '93 swap) sat most of the summer while I worked on it. Saturday, I drove it around the block to the house to pick up the boy, then to wally world. Total about 3 miles. When we started to leave Wal-Mart, it sputtered and acted like it was low on fuel. Added 10 gallons, wouldn't even idle (may be a result of my jackin' with the timing trying to get it running again) I had to be towed home.
After getting it in the garage, I finally got it to idle, barely and removed the K&N filter to check if it needed cleaning, it could but wasn't blocking air flow, removed the mass air and the idle improved a bit but basically stayed the same (chugging along struggling to stay running). When I disconnected the sensor, the idle smoothed out after several seconds.
Is this coincidence or has my mass air sensor failed?
