bad maf, Canister purge solenoid valve, and Atmospheric pressure sensor... 'tis a lot. try clearing all codes (follow http://legacycentral.org/library/literature/codes.htm) and see what comes back.

Code 45 for turbo cars is the pressure sensor and pressure exchange solenoid.

Can you describe the symptoms you are experiencing? How long do they last? When do they seem to occur? Any additional details would be helpful.

I can see a MAF sensor causing some operating issues.

Major hesitation at take off from a stop if i dont catch it itll die. idk whats wrong, last year i did replace knock sensor and the purge control solenoid. maybe there bad again.

I'd suspect the MAF sensor. You may want to try finding a used one to replace yours with to test that theory.

A 90-91 manual trans Legacy MAF sensor will work. It's got the same silver Hitachi MAF.
