Car shutoff after installing SAFC 88se

I just finish installing the SAFC and im sure I hooked up the wires right. The unit powers on and everything, but the car dies.
When I go to start it, the car will start and then dies 2 secs later. The problem is the same as if the MAF was unplugged.

I took the air sensor wire to the SAFC off and wired it back to norm, and started the car. The car starts, and and apexi powers on and its reading the RPMs.

I also got another question, I iknow some people uses the manifold pressure to use it as throttle, how do you do it??? Also which wire on the safc is the throttle sensor wire???

Sounds like one of your AFM wire connections wasn't right. Did you solder both connections?

Connect the S-AFC's throttle position signal wire to to the MAP sensor instead.

If you don't know that, how did you wire it up in the first place? Read the instruction manual.

I got it working now. I got all the wires right, it was just the settings that made the car die. I didnt set it to Flap, and 05 for in and 05 for out.

The manual that I got didnt labeled the throttle wire so I just left it, but I just founded it out at the same time I found out the settings. I dont know if that is the right settings but the car didnt die out on me.....
