HELP!! Need Tow in PA
I just purchased a 951 today and on my way home to D.C. from Rochester the thing broke down. I'm stuck in some small town 30 miles north of Harrisburg on I-81. The top company wants $300 (on top of the $150 I already paid) to take it to the nearest city (Harrisburg). I don't want to even think about how much it would cost to tow to D.C.
As far as the break down, it seems to be a problem with the MAF. It got dark, so troubleshooting will continue in the morning. Basically it barely holds an idle, but under any load it stalls out. Fuel pressure is good and exhaust smells rich. Plugs are getting spark. It has a Vitesse chip and Lindsey MAF. Also, the wideband A/F meter is showing rich.
If anyone is nearby and can offer a hand it would be greatly appreciated. Please call my g'friends cell at 703-627-2454.
TIA,
Matt

Matt- Let me see if I can get ahold of my friend and borrow his trailer. If so i can come and help you get the car home. Its the least I could do considering you gave me that ticket to FATT.... I probably wont have an answer until tomorrow at some point as he isnt the best about returning messages and emails. Ill let you know as soon as he responds. Or if anyone in NoVA/MD has a trailer I can borrow Ill come get you.

Thanks for the support guys! PO called back around midnight and problem solved in 5 minutes. The jumper wire had fallen on the floor and I didn't see it because it was dark
