so im in my new (to me) 6spd 2005 enthusiast (21k miles on it) today and had to urge to punch it from 1st to 2nd, so i did...had a nice and quick (but smooth) shift into 2nd and punched it causing the rear to kick out a bit before gripping and taking off, felt great. then i upshift to 5th to cruise and theres no power. almost a feeling of no compression. im like oh **** what did i do. i slowly coast into a mcdonalds parking lot as the car bogs down, unresponsive to my throttle foot and eventually stalls. i restarted a few times but it lasted 2 seconds before bogging down from idle and stalling.
so i panic, call the previous owner (only have had the car for a few days) and he tells me to reset the chip tune via the cruise control, no luck. then i unplugged the mafs at the airbox, blew into the contacts, plug it back in, restart, problem solved.
freaked me out. is there a limp mode that the car goes into after a hard shift like that? or did i simply bump the contacts on the mafs loose enough to make the car stall? btw, TCS was off.
car has aps tall boy intake mani.
what gives? thanks

and on another note, maybe when someone was working on the car they didn't plug the maf in all the way, or the maf may just be taking a dump...if u tap on the maf lightly with the end of a screwdriver with the car running does it act like it wants to die? thats pretty much the most caveman-like way to test it but hey, it works...

I am 21 yrs old and traction control was switched off. I'm thinking the macs plug was loose but will also test/clean the sensor myself.
For those of u who ***** about us young'ns having z's...it's my third car and has the least hp (have a background in high hp vw's) and the car was bought by me with my own money and credit. So **** off lol

Noticing how amazing your grammar and english seems to be, I would have never guessed you were 21... I'd say closer to 16
