Im pretty noob at this but my car keeps stalling and dying at start up and my rpm bogs up and down when I drive. I cannot get a pass on a smog check cause of this problem any experts out there can check it out? I am wiling to learn and pay if anything. I just wanna know whats going on. All i know it might be the MAF sensor, clogged fuel pump or a vacuum leak. thanks

Did you every ask me about a tune?
Anyway get a video up and turn your phone horizontal.
I'd like to hear, and see what's going on. Also have you checked on any of the things you think is wrong?

Off the top of my head: Timing, then vacuum leak, cts, mafs, etc. then
thrown rocker arm <--least likely

so get that video up and then do some testing, a pressurized boost leak test with soapy water is the only way to for leaks. If your idle is too high you'll miss it with the spray test.

Sorry my phone got no video at the moment.. So far I just took off the MAF plug but didnt really know what to check inside but seems clean to me(but then again i am a noob), I listened to any high pitch from a vacuum leak and theres nothing, also I restarted the ECU since I put the OEM air filter back on. When I start the engine the rpm stays a lil below 1rpm and when i switch it to drive the goes to half of the 1rpm and bogs up and down
