my 2 cent : The dreaded "engine cuts on and off" problem. I searched and came up with the MAFS consensus from the .org. I am having this problem right now. I almost got into two accidents tonight because of it! The fuel filter is about 3 weeks old, i installed a "new" used MAFS and and its just getting worse. In addition, there seems to be some kind of a leak on the fuel filter because the top of the filter seems to get a trace of gas on it. Not to mention my friend who was driving in his car behind me tonight said he smelled a ton of gas fumes behind my car. Can anyone help me out? I detailed the engine a few nights ago with some degreaser and water so I thought that might have had something to do with it. I checked the plug chambers and they seemed ok. I hope I dont have a really involved problem.
if its the 6 ignition coils, replace them. if they are flooded/shorted by water (from the wash) they might be misfiring. if fuel is reaching the combustion chamber but doesnt get burned by the ignition system it will exit through the exhaust, hence the smell of fuel. try that as a start.
