Well i posted a while ago about my 85 vette runnning like **** the idle was jumping around almost dying when i was stoped and i also just noticed the coolent temp is at 234 degrees the other day which seems really high and also my oil temp was 190 which also seems really high. so i figured i needed a tune up sence the car was running like **** and dying all the time and having no power when floored so i did it and it still runs like **** oil has been changed and still nothing. someone on here told me to check the cats they might be clogged well i only have one cat and the muffler shop checked it and said it was good. so the other day the check engine light came on and got it checked out the MAF sensor is out so i am just woundering if this could have been the problem all along im getting ready to buy just wanted some input to see if anyone thinks that this is what is the problem. thanks

Hmmmm- I would have said the cats as a first guess myself. MAF?? It can't hurt to buy, if its not it return it. How many miles you have on your car?
