    I have a 94 Buick lesabre that started hesitating when driving then it died but when I unplug he mass air flow sensor it will run but rough and a code said it had low voltage to the o2 sensor so I changed it and that mass air flow sensor and it still does the same thing and when I plug the mass air sensor back in the car dies someone told me it could be the catalytic convertor but exhaust still comes out and its very hot and it stinks but I want sure if that might just be because of the mass air flow sensor is unplugged

    I'm not totally sure on what the code said I just remember it said low voltage on bank 1 which I assumed it was the one on the exhaust manifold and I'm not sure what it said about the mass air flow sensor because my dad unplugged it and we had it checked at o'reillys but couldn't get it to clear the codes and I thought maybe the mass air flow sensor came up because it had been unplugged and the only way I know now to check the codes is take it to a shop but I will clean that Plenum and see what it does

    I started the car last night and there is no check engine light that comes on I kept my foot on the gas pedal and it would run but would start to idle fine then when I would bring my foot up some it would act liked it wanted to die and I only ran it for maybe almost 2 minutes and it started to get hot

    I need to know what the codes said exactley,and there needs to be a fuel pressure test done to make sure the fuel pressure is correct.Also clean the plenum,this is the upper intake.Use intake cleaner,this causes hesitation ,in a vehicle,and will throw codes such as this,exhaust being stopped up,well put a vacuum gauge on the intake,and read the vacuum,it is very possible,the computer will blame the mass air flow when the vacuum is weak,check the temp of the engine,and see if it is running warmer than usual.If so,it most likely is stopped up.

1997 rodeo 3.2 starts i can rev it up runs smooth then just dies

I would unplug mass air flow sensor and see if it stays running...will run a little rough, but if it changes and keeps it from dieing then, mass air flow is most likely bad..could be fuel related, several things, but that is a simple starting point..
Can you provide some more info...is it driveable? If so does it have a bad miss, or what happens if you try to drive?

My car idles real rough and hesitates when i gas it

That or your intake manifold hose could have a split in it or have your mass air flow sensor checked. IT could even be as simple as a good tune up.Hope this helped please rate me! GOOD LUCK

Car keeps dying

Trouble Code 33 and 34 are the MAF/MAP Sensor Circuit. It sounds like you've replaced that sensor already. Did you also have the code 34 before putting in the new sensor?
Or did this code start after it's replacement? Any other codes appearing?

Troubleshooting it would depend if it has the Speed Density Update. The dealer should be able to provide that info.

Here's your fault code list:

13 oxygen sensor circuit 14 coolant temp sensor circuit (high temp) 15 coolant temp sensor circuit (low temp) 21 throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit (high signal) 22 throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit (low signal) 23 manifold air temp (MAT) circuit (low temp) 24 vehicle speed sensor (VSS) circuit 25 manifold air temp (MAT) circuit (high signal) 31 wastegate solenoid electrical circuit 32 exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) circuit 33 mass air flow (MAF) circuit (gm/sec high) 34 mass air flow (MAF) circuit (gm/sec low) 41 cam sensor circuit 42 C3I EST or bypass circuit failure 43 electronic spark control (ESC) circuit 44 oxygen sensor circuit (lean exhaust) 45 oxygen sensor circuit (rich exhaust) 51 PROM error 52 calpak error 55 ECM error
