When I get on the gas it losses power and stalls a bit

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter or air filter...common causes are air filter, or blocked air intake, dirty carb, bad plug, wires, distributer, distributer button, fuel filter, water in gas, old gas,plugged exhaust pipe and last but not least and believe it or not too much dirt under the gas peddle.... and in one case passing cable fell off the carb.

Have to replace egr gaskets that burn away or tubes that rust out

What you have is exhaust system leaks & a lack of fuel control or
fuel trim, where the oxygen sensors are saying one thing and the cars computer doesn't know about the unmetered air getting in after
the maf sensor,thus the poor perfromance

You can not have ANY vacuum leaks-- evap system,intake,exhaust,
you get the idea

Try removing & capping the vacuum hoses to egr
The egr valve may be bad

Replace any oxygen sensors over 100,000,miles
Replace spark plugs in motor over 3 years
Clean Maf Sensor (crc maf cleaner)

Check your mass air flow sensor (maf). It can be cleaned with brake cleaner or MAF cleaner.

P1406 EGR Valve Pintle Position Circuit Fault
This code is usually caused by carbon buildup in the EGR valve. The carbon deposits prevent the valve from closing completely.

After removing the EGR valve, clean the pintle seat area of the valve and the corresponding passageway in the engine.

or simply replace the EGR valve.

The purpose of you EGR Valve is to recycle un-burned fuel back into the engine, not only improving fuel economy by reducing the engines pumping losses, the EGR increases the mass in the intake; more mass means higher pressure, or less vacuum. Now the piston has less resistance during each intake stroke, which results in better gas mileage.

So if your EGR Valve is clogged, damaged or simply just not working - the those rich un-recycled fuels will make your car burn richer. (Which will make you burn more fuel.)

Hope this helps!

Running rough?? If i took a guess I'd say there's a faulty injector. Does it smoke like hell ?? Does it also miss at idle?- If so get a line wrench and a rag handy. Start the car and while idling wrap the rag around the base of the fuel line connector on injector 1 and crack it just a bit until fuel comes out. It might spray, thus the rag. If the miss gets worse, that ain't the injector to blame. Continue with the other 3. If you crack a line and there is no or very little change in the miss then you found the guilty party.

On a long shot it could also be a stuck valve.

Did that get it?? It sounds like an issue other than MAF but.... get a multimeter and try probing the connecter to the MAF. When you find out what it is , please let me know. I'm curious

*The key must be on*

pin 1- ignore it
pin 2- gnd = 12-14v
pins 2- 3 = 12-14v
pin 4- gnd = 5v
pins 3- 4 = 5v

P0101 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70): Implausible Signal

Possible Symptoms

• Loss of Power
• Erratic Idle

Possible Causes

• Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70) faulty
• Air Leak(s) after Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)
• Intake Air Filter dirty/faulty
• Ground Spots corroded or Paint Residue
• Wiring and/or Connections from/to Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70) faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Intake Air Filter
• Check Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)
• Check Ground Spots
• Check Wiring and/or Connections from/to Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)

Check:
- Fresh Air Intake Hose: Clogged or Damaged FreshAir Intake Hose.
- Carburetor: Worn, Faulty or Damaged Carburetor.
- Mass Air Flow Sensor: Damaged, Loose, or Faulty Mass Air Flow Sensor or Circuit.
- EGR Valve: EGR Valve Sticking Open/Leaking.
- Idle Air Control Valve: IAC Valve Sticking or Faulty.

Good luck.

replace the crank sensor behind the egr valve. it worked for me after i spent nearly 500 on other sensors

To me if the engine will not idel and stall once you have stopped, that points to an IAC (Idle Air Control sensor) which is located on your throttle body.  The part is very easy to get to and changes out pretty quickly.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa!

Have you checked the EGR valve? it may be leaking, touch it with a wet finger at idle, if it is leaking it will be very hot, the useual cause is either carbon or back pressure transducer problem, another issue may be fuel pressure, have you tested the pressure yet?

Sounds to me like an O2 sensor, i had a similar problem with my Ford Probe GT. Luckily my car was a 5 speed so i just kept my foot on the gas a bit and put my car into neutral as i was slowing down or coming to a stop. If you're car is automatic I would not suggest doing neutral drops.. you'll cause more damage.
