Okay, y'all aren't even going to believe this. The good news is I got the car running without dying and it sounds great. The bad news is the only way it'll do that is if I unplug the MAF sensor. Iit ran for like 15 minutes no problem.

I know what you're thinking. "Oh so the MAF was bad". Nope. I have 4 MAF sensors and none of them work and I cross checked them with another GS300 I have they all work with that GS300. Soooooooooooo. I assume there's a short somewhere or something like that.

It was a short somewhere in the wiring harness. I just ended up selling parts off the car. Engine was still good.
