The first thing you need to do is find out what the check engine light is about. The code is going to lead you in the direction of the problem. There are way too many possibilities without this information.
Hope this helps ya,
Billy

yes thanks for reply. Sometimes these cars throw several codes at once. This is a simple sensor hopefully some will know off the top of their head. if not I have another 93 sitting here will swap maf and other sensors until problem is fixed
