Man like I told you on the other thread you ain't got nothing nice to say keep it to yourself. I'm new to this forum stuff and you can clearly see that I'm new to this one so if I did something that bothered you so bad you feel offended the only thing I guess I could say to you is sorry, really don't matter to me. But if you don't like what I'm putting on here to bad, look over it and move on! I ain't got no problems with nobody and I ain't trying to make any, so lets keep it at that. Nuf said...
Are you the ***, or the kettle?

Fix your issues you already know of to start with. Youll notice a big improvement, even with 87 oct gas. I think you have answered most of your own questions.

Okay so I know for a fact that the MAF effects the gas mileage but the valve cover leave effect it to?

Yea thats what I mean't. Typo sorry. The oil also leaks into the spark plug housings and I'm worried that if not changed soon it could effect the plugs and leak into the combustion chamber while I am driving. Anybody got any extra parts for sale? Gaskets, MAF sensors, etc.

The oil won't get into the cylinder unless you pull a plug. However, it will destroy your plug wires.
How do you know your MAF isn't working?
EDIT: You should just start your own thread instead of hijacking other ones. List all the issues together in one post. That will help keep things organized, and it will make it easier for us to help you.

Ya'll are help but at the same time just so rude, smh, but I know it's bad because I pulled the plug on it and the car didn't cut off and I had it scanned. And I would have started my own thread if you all didn't come on here trying to put me in check! If you go back in I did make the first comment since 2008.

Also it wouldn't make since to start another thread if I'm having the same problem! Then you would start telling me to go read that thread and stop making extras. I am really trying to make mends here and get info! Through out demands don't help. Help and guidance helps. Lets just try that! Now back on the gas issue, a friend of mines was on the SHO forum I think this morning or yesterday, and found out that when I open the gas tank and release the pressure from the tank, I get a more accurate reading so now I'm confused. It still seems like the car burns a lot of gas but since the gas cap thing the gauge won't read that my gas is burning really fast until it gets hot in the tank and pressure builds up! Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I wasn't being rude. However, I do have a knack for putting ******** in their place. Don't be an *******.
I'm done posting in this thread. You can take my advice and start a new one, or not. It's up to you.

Wut?
I think it's safe to say that there's a lot of us on here that'll do the same.
At any rate, if you unplug the MAF, it won't make the car "cut out" or shut off. If you unplugged it, then plugged it back in and scanned for codes, I'd expect to see a MAF code. This is simply because you unplugged it.
Giggity.

Naw I'm not an ******* at all, but yea it did throw the code when unplugged, but I took it to this hands on garage and they did i test! It came up as a bad MAF, he cleaned it and checked it again and it still read bad.

If you want help here I suggest you do a lot more listening and a lot less talking.

Man I swear I tried that the other night and even apologized, a couple forgave me and said it was cool shit happens and then a couple never even replied to the messages and continued talking mess back. I even apologized on a thread so when I don't get respect for apologizing what to do? Whats the point? I'm trying to make mends and get along and come on here to do what I got on here to do. Not make enemies. I maned up for my faults of coming on here harsh and still get talked down. So why keep my mouth closed? I swear I am trying to be the bigger person here and accept responsibilities for my faults. So when you do that and its like your apology gets shot into a dead stop wall what would you do in that situation? Like I said I apologized and if they can't accept that then I just won't deal with them. Its other people here to get info from.
