hello, I have a '93 Cutlass Ciera 3.3. I just got a brand new mass air flow sensor, a new battery and a new starter. the car turns over just fine but then cuts off shortly after idling. before the starter went out, i had to wait for the car to warm up a little before i could drive it and it would drive great even during the beginning of this winter. its still winter and rainy and snowy and the car wont stay on long enough to warm up even with all this new stuff in it. what is the deal!!??

What happens after it stalls?
Does it start right back up.
Would it stay running if you started driving it immediately after starting it?

After it stalls, it just turns all the way off. itll start right back up again but i get the same result.
I got as far as backing out of my spot and it died again so i pushed it back into the spot.
once i started it and put it in gear, it reversed flawlessly and then cut off so if i was facing the other way, im sure it would take off just fine. problem is, without warming it up beforehand, its gunna stall regardless. it wont stay on long enough to warm up properly.
Thanks for responding, I hope you can help lol the only thing useful i have found is the Idle Air Control may need to be replaced.

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

If you have to ask that, this might be a job for somebody else.
