Ouch...honest answer...no. If you are going to take it to get looked at tow it. If you have AAA preferred they tow up to 100 miles free. I think it costs like $75 for the year for that..

SGP is going to say its the MAF, sounds like it is. So the remedy is to remove the MAF. Get ready to buy a Unichip or HKS fcon vpro, but i dont think that SGP ar unichip tuners ( i might be wrong). The fcon will set you back about 2000.00-2500.00. Though HKS used to sell a "HKS VPC" vein pressure controller, it removes the MAF and its cheap 250.00 i dont think they sell them anymore, they might....ioooonnooo??

since we are on the same subject, if it is the MAF and i get it fixed.... what is recommended to prevent this again?

thanx for the input,

Split second makes a voltage clamp that wont let your maf max out past a set voltage, like say, 4.8 volts instead of letting it hit maf overload. A lot of piggybacks already do this though
