Q: AC tube broke and now truck is having problems.
Hello, my truck was running great until the ac tube broke and leaked all the water and caused my truck to overheat. The leak was fixed but now the truck seems to stall. It also hesitates when accelerating. I had the Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaned but it continued to do it. When i disconnect the sensor i get no stalling at all and works fine but i dont want to use it without the sensor. Not sure if its the sensor or water got in to my motor, help me please. Thank you
