engine dies out after high rpms
alright guys i ran into another problem...
i redline 1st then go into high rpms in 2nd then throw it into neutral, then the car shuts down...
any suggestion as to what the problem might be? i just changed out the coils the other day, my plugs have about 2.5k on them...im lost as to what it could be.

It can't hurt to check your battery, but I doubt it. whens the last time you replaced it and do you have problems initially starting the car? It sounds more like a firing issue do to plugs, lack of fuel, incorrect air to fuel ratio, etc...

Was it loose because of the housing or it had jiggled itself loose? Seems like you have narrowed the problem down to probably the MAF sensor or the housing.
