  1. Here's a list of voice commands I put together in PDF format. This is a lot easier to refererence than the manual... VC6.pdf

  2. ...couple additional things, and some of the more experienced engineers can chime in anytime - If the car idles more or less fine, but dies when given gas, then two possibilities exist: a. It is not getting enough fuel to combust the higher air volume mixture (too much air volume for the metered fuel), or b. Spark strength is not enough to combust the denser mixture (I think this is a very low probability), so... Do a vacuum test...the idle too fast is symptomatic of higher than normal volume of air - possibly a vacuum leak - do the test and verify the correct level of vacuum - there should be a number available. If the vacuum is too high, you have a significant leak and when you open the throttle too much air is killing the engine. Possible areas to check are the accordion style connector to the air intake on the manifold - cracks develop in the folds and are not readily visible without taking it off and risking cracking them, anyway, the three thin hoses on the TB, and if you still them attached, the PS vacuum hoses. These are common areas where you may develop leaks. The bump may have jarred a relatively loosely clamped hose and now you are experiencing the leak - if that is the problem. Of course, if you have not ruled out a loose ground wire, you will experience all sorts of weird problems, since the ECU must have its grounds for all the sensors for the circuitry to operate optimally. One final after-thought check the connector on the MAF to see if it is tight - should not cause the engine to die, though. Good luck and hope this helps.
