its idleing around 1500 RPM and then when i tap the gas the car boogles and almost dies then i slam the gas and it revs fine..

car wouldn't start and the 1st time after a stall .. whats wrong?

spark plug?
fuel?

- i was forced to use ARCO gas .. but then i filled it up w/ Shell gas afterwards

Could be a lot of things...try cleaning your injectors...changing out your fuel filter checking you air filter element...stuff like that

My guess is a faulty MAFS or a leak in your intake somewhere.

Check for vacuum leaks those are typically the cause of a stumbling idle.

My air intake fell off slightly the other day, and that is exactly what happened. Have you opened the hood to look yet? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

yea i have taken a look under the hood the only thing wrong i can see is that the battery tie down is loose im going to fix that tomorrow.

i went to kragen &nbsp;earlier and bought some 10W-30 Mobil syntheic blend oil a fram oil filter and fuel filter

im going to work on the car tomorrow

also bought some brake pads semi mettalic

i hope its the fuel filter b/c #### i've been getting shitty shit mileage .. 200 miles per tank?!
