2003 Galant 2.0L Electrical Problems
Hi Guys,
I reaaaally need help with this POS of a car. It has been trouble since the day I bought it used 4 years ago. I believe its electrical. Problem is it stumbles really badly on acceleration. Sometimes it has excellent acceleration, but most of the time its crap and really slow. At first I thought it was MAF, I replaced it 3 times. Now problem is back and worse. Its made hellishly worse if I turn on the AC. I also replaced an alternator last year. Now check engine light comes on and off, and each time it does so, car stumbles so bad, as if someone slammed the brakes while going 100km/h. MAF for this car sells for $1000 and used MAFs are worse than a needle in a haystack to find.
Please if anyone has insight on this shitty problem.
Also to note, when in the rare occaision car is running smoothly, the electrical systems (wiper blades, fan speed for AC etc) run well, when its not, they run sooo slow and shit. I thought it was alternator, I had it replaced and checked out many times, it wasn't.
I am thinking bad ground or some other electrical disaster, and really need insight on this. Please help.
