car is an automatic it dies in short spells- maybe a full second

I will check the wiring with the stick method- thankyou for helping me out

B22 - possible needing a cleaning or replacing? Thanks for the diagram

Whatever is wrong with the car happens very randomly- out of no where- fast slow-warn -cold... could the sensors just not work some of the times?

Thanks for the replys all- I will try the screwdriver trick

So can I just take the MAF off and the car will still drive- just not quite optimum ?

96 legacy l wagon No check engine lights are on. I had it checked anyway to no avail. Another thread on this site said mass air flow sensor could be bad. Its been a while since the last tune up but I do have new plugs.

DID replacing the MAF work for you? My car -1996 legacy does the Exact same thing- drives perfectly fine then randomly quits then goes then quits... AT TEMP flashes sometimes when this happens. Nobody seems to be able to diagnose this problem until I read this post! Please let me know Thanks Lloyd

Greetings all. My wife has a 96 legacy and very randomly the engine cuts out. It will drive fine then suddenly loose power-cut back on -lose power-over and over again. Then it will drive fine for 15 minutes or five days. The engine just completely temporarily dies when this happens. ( or runs-dies- runs- dies...) Its not a misfire-it has a new coil- fuel pump and filters. Its not backfireing. This can happen when its cold or hot. I think it may be a sensor. The transmission fluid was low and after I filled it up the car ran fine for a week- now my wife is broken down again. PLEASE HELP me figure this one out!
