I originally had taken my car apart- ca18det manual - and disassembled the air box/ MAF sensor (unplugged it), charge pipes, drained the coolant, battery and fuse box (unplugged and ungrounded)-
Then I put everything back together and when I tried starting it for the first time- I didn't realize that I had one of the ignition coil connectors disconnected- It was obvious, so I then went
and connected it- and started it for the second time and it was idling better-
The car feels very sluggish- idling below 1000 rpms- when you rev it to 2500 rpms in gear and let off the throttle- it almost drops completely
and wants to stall- the lights dim and also the power windows dont work anymore?.
Could it be a blown fuse? MAF sensor? I dont see how that sensor could go bad by just unplugging it?
It seems similar to when a similar thing happened to my fathers lexus- the MAF sensor was bad and had the same type of reactions. However the difference is before I had taken the car apart it was
running perfectly except for a exhaust leak or running rich.
One concern is when I ungrounded the fuse box and unplugged it- I didnt remember correctly how the grounds went back together- one for the negative battery terminal and one for the fuse box wiring-
But I grounded them to bolts- so I don't think that should be the problem.
Any Ideas?
