I cleaned the throttle body out and the car ran perfectly, after idling for around 5 minutes the car backfired. The car now wont idle, i tried a new airflow meter but no diffrence, i found a few leaking vaccum pipes and fixed them but still no diffrent. The car backfired again last night but not as bad. I dont know what caused the backfire im out of idea.
