01 monte ss idle flair then stalls

Any one seen this one before???

Car runs normal I mean text book then when sitting there idling stumbles has a idle flair then stalls when I try to restart it will only start if I set the pedal half way. when it does it stumbles chokes spews black smoke then diesels to a stall again it did have a code for a MAF (high resistance) replaced, as well as a new IAC replaced for this symptom (No codes now) just unpredictable so as of rite now no misfires logged no codes ....Any ideas??? Thanks Bob

Hi `Bob, and Welcome to the MCF
Sorry to read that you are having a problem with
your Monte Carlo.

1. How many miles on your Monte

Please check back on your thread question/problem, and
hopefully one of our expert tech member's will

Who replaced the MAF ? How long ago was it replaced ?
Have you checked with them on your problem?

Good Luck 4-Sure.

Check it out and then inspect your car's wiring around the A/C accumulator to see if there's any damage to any of the wires.
