Default Help? my car doesnt run

Ok here is my problem my car try's to die at from 0-2500 rpms. Some on told me it was the TACK modual so I paid $280 and got one put it in and it didnt fix the problem. so when I am going in 4th gear at 40-50 mph it will shake the hole car trying to die. Then sometimes the code " 10 PCM 0101 H" will pop up out of noware. My question is what is that code? and do you all know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like your MAF sensor has a problem, and that code specifically describes a MAF problem.

Check all your connections going to the MAF, then recheck them.

Have you modified or messed with your MAF lately? There are very sensitive and fragile wires inside the MAF, that determine airflow. They could be damaged or extremely dirty.

Check also to make sure you have all your tubes, and ducting connected and secured properly, especially between the MAF and the Throttle body, as air leaking in there will throw the air calculation way off.

let the car idle, tap the mass air flow in air intake, if it flutters or starts to stall, replace it, or hook up an otc and pull the code :party: :party:
