Hello,

Earlier this year, my car wouldn't turn on or allow me to turn on the car, radio, or use the power locks. I jiggled the cable on the battery and noticed it wouldn't give the car life. Assuming that was the problem, I had that cord replaced. For two days the car was running beautifully but then the car started stalling at red lights & stop signs. I had it checked out and the code read it was the Mass Air Flow Sensor (the wiring of the computer). I was advised to go see a dealer but I was wondering if it could have anything to do with the cable I got replaced?

Thank you for your time.

Why don't you try cleaning the MAF sensor with a MAF sensor or an elecrtonic cleaner and see what happens-don't work could be the sensor, wiring or the computer
