why you going to fork out 30-120 without knowing what it definitely is? 
 
is there any EML light? if so you should paperclip test it. 
 
Else you should eliminate things, tell people what problems you are having in full detail and somebody may tell you exactly what it is, rather than hit and miss.

ive had a prev post some one told me it sounds like the MAF 
 
when driveing the EML light comes on but gose bk off again when doing the test nothing somes up  
 
and some times sitting at lights the engin starts to rev up its self like it pulses if that makes sence

I thought that the ECU stored EML codes, just in case the EML goes back off by the time you do the test?
