It was not the MAF. The good news is that I found out what it was. I went around touching connectors/wires while it was in its idle lope and it's the connector/harness plugging into the throttle.

I touched it and it the engine died. I wiggled it around after I started it up in the middle of one of its fits and it quit. Now its running fine except for the stuttering in between the 1-2, 2-3 upshift.

I need to know if I can replace just the wire/connector assy that plugs in to it? Or will I need to replace the whole engine harness?

Thanks
