Ok I'm asking you guys this before I go out and buy parts.

 

I go out in the morning and start the car. As soon as you turn the key she jumps to 4k RPM and slowly throttles down to 3K then 2K to warm up then after 2 mins she jumps up to 3k rpm again and throws SES. Now if I hit the gas she throttkes back down to 2k rpm to warm up and the SES light goes out. I figure the Map sensor is toast because thats what the SES code said. Then it's off to work and as I pull up to a stoplight the engine is surging then after that it quits and she runs normally.

 

Now after a hard run like example racing somone or going form city speed to highway speed and I come to a stop it will throw SES and it won't go out.

 

SES codes are 39 and 35

 

So I figure Map sensor to start. Failing that upper and lower intake gaskets. Has anyone have this problem before?

 

Well anyway I found my culprit. It was the power brake booster line. It had a hole it it. It was probably put there from some crooked mechanic because it was sliced! Anyway $14.00 later and a heart attack after I found out the part was in stock I went to work and installed it on my break. Now the car runs perfect. Even the noise that I thought was my power steering pump stopped I guess it was the line. The brakes work proper again and I am just so thrilled it cost me a measly 14.00 CDn to fix a 3.4. It has to be one of the cheepest fixes on the books. =)
