LONG STORY but please Help!!!
ok I have an 03 APS TT
The last long trip i had in the car was december (christmas holidays)
After that I didnt really drive it anymore....been doing interior mods (nothing mech.)
Like normal ppl i would crank the car and let it idle every week to keep the fluids moving
Now i want to drive it now but having problems
Since i didnt do anything mech. i wanted to just drive the car
while the car is cold it idles a little high but nothing seems wrong
When the car gets warm thats when the problems start
If i was driving, as soon as i press in the clutch to come to a stop the car dies
or
before i even leave the house when i press the clutch to put it in gear the car dies
or
after cranking the up the car it just dies randomly
Searching on the forum and seeing that it seems some ppl have a similar problem i went down the list recommendations
I cleaned the MAF, Camshaft Position Sensor, check oil levels, cleaned throttle body, reset ecu, re-learn process for throttle body and throw Stabil in the tank
the last time i had "fresh gas" or at least brought newer gas was about 2 weeks ago
Now after doing all this I assumed my problem was gone.......so i went driving last night
Guess what it died again.....and again.....and again
After being tired of all the restarting i had less than half a tank of gas
i figured to get some clean $$$$ gas
So after a trip at exxon and about 100 miles on the highway i decide to turn around again and make another lap before i head home.......sure enough the car died again
Then in the city area with more stopping and going it died again.......and again.....and again
OK anymore ideas ppl......all the others seem to help car in acceleration (thanks)but not fix my Root Problem
The only code that comes up is P0335 (crankshaft Position Sensor) i had that replaced in September and those signs are totally different compared to what im dealing so i assume the sensor isnt failing
Im stumped
PLEASE HELP

[QUOTE=Jeremy@Altered;7291738]Dirty MAF reading a little differently. The weather, humidity, ect.
I cleaned the MAF
Weather I could see not running a peak potential but not at all and its not even a difference from night or day.....or even light rain
Lol
This bites
Anyone willing to take a small payment as collateral and I pay shipping for an cipher for a day then return
I hate the stealership but no one is close enough to risk a trip
