Engine Performance problem
2002 Toyota Highlander 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 145K miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
After I replaced air filter my highlander, reconnected 5 pins and 2 pins connector, can't start the car. Push the gas pedal, car started OK, released gas pedal, engine shutdown, after engine was warm up, car start OK but RPM ( from 0 to 8 ) needle point to 0.
When I am driving on the highway look like some thing hold back.
Any one can help
Thanks

Hi peper,

Is the CEL showing? You need to recheck the wire connectors. The MAF seems to be sleeping. Check for vacumn leakages, such as improper installation or cracks on air hose.
