Mine is doing the same thing. Just not near as many codes. Its a 1999 dico 2. It takes off slow and will not pass 45mph. If you try, it just sounds bogged down or flooded. Have to hold your foot at just the right position to make it accelerate the best. Have changed plugs, wires, and coil packs. Nothing!

Any ideas?

Yup, ihscouts, I simply unplugged the MAF sensor and it ran like the day I bought it!!!! So that tells me I just need to buy a new MAF and clean out the rest of the intake breathing unit. Two years of not driving half as much as I'd like to have and it was a simple IN MY FACE issue. Hope this help may others.
