1st post. Thx for all the great info. 1996 Safari 4.3L. Little auto repair experience, but I'm willing to learn and try.
SYMPTOMS:
- Van starts up fine, then 2-5 seconds later it stalls.
- If I rev for a few seconds, it keeps running, though idling seems a tad rough. Once it gets going, it runs fine.
- 2 codes. P0102 (mass airflow sensor) and P0340 (camshaft position sensor).
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR, NONE WORKED:
1. Visually checked MAF wiring and seals.
2. Cleaned MAF with MAF cleaner.
3. Replaced MAF (Delphi brand, couldn't find OEM).
4. Visually checked CPS wiring.
5. Replaced CPS (OEM AC/Delco).
6. Replaced distributor and rotor (since I was already looking at CPS and it's been awhile).
MY NEXT STEP:
1. Probably should have done this before replacing parts, but I plan to get hold of a multimeter and troubleshoot the wiring on both MAF and CPS.
2. If nothing works, I'm leaning towards bringing to my local dealer, which I REALLY want to avoid. I don't have a trustworthy mechanic yet.
QUESTIONS:
1. Am I on the right track?
2. Are there other things to consider?
Thx much!!
Starts then stalls. P0102 and P0340
