6th Gen ('00-'05): Shutting off at idle, bad Mass Airflow sensor
#11
Update
Just because it runs better after unplugging the MAF, doesnt mean its the maf. It most likely is and I 2nd the AC Delco replacement but ive had an IAC problem that would go away after unplugging the MAF. Ive found that blasting the MAF element with electronics cleaner can give it a little more life also.

Bad news, the Monte isn't fixed. It drove great Sunday and Monday morning. When I got to work after a 60 mile drive it started messing up in the parking lot... strange. I dropped it off at another shop, the dealer I bought it from. My girlfriend is having surgery and will need my help for a few days. I just don't have time to keep messing with it. Plus I need something I can depend on. I will keep yall updated.

Another Update. The bad idle ansd shutting off at idle was tracked down to a sticking EGR valve. The MAF and IAC were still a good investment since after the codes were cleared they didn't come back. I have peace of mind that they are new.
An issue I don't think I had mentioned was the Traction Control and ABS light being on. That issue was tracked down to a dirty connector to the brake module. A little electrical cleaner and that issue went away.
I hope this information might help future people with troubleshooting.
Slowly the 2001 Monte is coming back around. I'm looking forward to a little detailing soon!
