ok finally. I fix the starter problem. well not really, my mecanic did.
the problem was the starter motor. even do. I take out and took it to a shop 2 times. the problem come a go.
so what was wrong.
first the solenoid I install. burn out. because I try to start somany times with out a luck.
also the contacts inside the motor. dont know how you call the in english. they where wear out. so they instal a new ones.
and most important. one of the cables inside the starter motor. that connect one of this contacts. was almost broke in 2 . so this was making an Intermitent conection or bad conection.
at the end all my initial connectios where ok. it was the starter motor after all. No wonder I can not find the problem. since I belive the startert motor was ok.
now that motor is rebuild and work perfect.
the mecani charge me $90 and pay $15 for parts. so total cost $105
also. he told me that he use to have that same starter motor new. he had like 15 units. and some time ago he reduce the price to $50 each and he sold them all. about a year ago
so at the end, the first shop did a bad test on my starter. that was what the mecanic told me.
thank you all for your help during this 3 month .on the starter motor problem

For a little background...My car sits a lot. When it wouldn't start, I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, and replaced my fuses. It started, but ran really rough. When I unplugged the MAF, it ran pretty good...So I replaced the MAF Power and Burnoff relays, and the MAF itself. It ran good for a few days, but now it won't start again. It does turn over, but won't run. I get a code 41. Advice I get so far is to check the ECM grounds, contacts etc., which I have yet to do...Hoping it is not the ECM, or the chip, but that has also been suggested. Guess I will start with those connections and grounds, and go from there. Any advice in troubleshooting, appreciated.
Thanks!

A mecanic did that to my car and start right away .he explain to me at the time that this engine need that extra air to start if the car is been sitting for some times.

Starting with the pedal floored triggers "clear flood mode".
