Thanks for your response. Cleaned maf sensor and still having the same problem. Brought it back to the shop and their machine told them that the car had misfired over 150 times since the last week, but couldn't find anything wrong and decided to put in a new fuel filter and gave it a tune up. I'm still having the same issues and now its reving while in park and acting like it wants to quit at stops, also reved on the highway in cruise. Seems to be worse of than Before the tune up. Any suggestions?

My Oldsmobile temperature gage inside the car will show over heating with needle going to max temp and seconds later going back to normal temperature just as quick. I have replaced the intake manifold gasket, temperature sensor, thermastat and radiater cap. I also have tried to burb the system by placing a no spill funnel on the radiater fill inlet and let run for over an hour. The car would burp every few minutes when what I believe was when the thermostat opened and that is when the temp gage inside would go to the max. 2 Answers
