Okay guys, on saturday night I was driving my car and then it started stumbling and missing so I thought I was maybe out of gas (my gauge is not working). I got new gas in her and i drove home with only a couple of misses and stutters. The next morning my car drove perfectly until after 10 minutes it started dying again so I got her home.

I proceeded to change the plugs, do a boost leak test, change the fuel filter, drain almost all the gas and out heet gas dryer in the tank, do a compression test (got 150 across the board cold), and then take the maf plug out and nothing helped so far.

Now all that happens is the car starts, idles very lumpy, and then dies. The airfuel ratio is going from super rich, and then it swings super lean and dies. I dont know guys.

All advice is appreciated.

Here is a dsmlink log if you want to look at it. I zeroed everything out by diconnecting the battery.
