i bought the car with 111,000 miles. It had factory spark plugs still. About a month after I purchased the car my check engine came on. Threw P2076 code. I replaced the tuning valve then, as well as spark plugs and ignition coil. It ran ok for a few days and started stuttering when i would get around 40-45mph. Replaced air filter and MAF sensor and found the tuning valve came loose, reattached it. Now it dies randomly and cuts out like its not getting fuel. Could it be the tuning valve that keeps popping out? Fuel pump? Throttle body? Or MAP sensor? I'm a single mom and cant afford to shop it or buy several parts to keep finding its not the issue. Any suggestions appreciated.
