yes i lied about lookin at it , because i didnt want any more crap about the fact that i went to someone , Sorry this is not the first time that someone has bitched because i dont do it myself , it wont happen again guessed i judged you guys to quickly , well today im gonna just bring it to a mechanic around the corner and find out exactly what the problem is hopefully it can be fixed cheaply

Also refering to a previous post about the MAF and IAC is there any special thing i should use to clean them , which was also recommended for me to have done

I use MAF cleaner on the MAF, and carb cleaner on the IAC

Ok well i just got back from bringing it to a mechanic and he did not notice any arcing or even red hot wire , he told me that its possible that when they put in the oil filter that the filter hit the wire , it that actually possibly true also i meantioned the MAF and IAC to him and he said not to worry about it because the truck isnt stalling , should i clean it anyways just cause it might not have been cleaned or dont worry , also just today the ABS light came on in the truck and the guy told me he tried to hook it up to there computer but it didnt work but the brakes are workin fine he thought it could be a sensor but didnt know because of the computer , is there any other way to check

No, that doesn't make any sense.

Didn't you start this thread because it was stalling out and not starting without giving it throttle??? Yes, cleaning the MAF, throttle body, and IAC is good practice once in a while even if you aren't having problems. I can't even keep track of what your problem is anymore though.

Take it to someone with a working computer. Its your life when the ABS fails and you skid through a tree.

ok thanks wezvo , i didnt know if i was the only one , it doesnt stall anymore due to me knowing how to drive better and had meantioned new problems , i dont know whats goin on i also just brought it to just a auto electrical guy and he didnt notice an arcing wire either , he didnt meantion the oil filter thing but he didnt see anythin so unless the person who did the oil change touched somethin wrong i have no clue based on what i was told
