i have a couple of problems (sorry of the noob stuff im still kinda new)

1. installed a new filter and after it wont idle my guess is a vac leak

2. starting to smell gas after i turn off the engine and it burns rich

i need help/advice or whatever..... no dont tell me to get a honda or some **** like that i hate hondas

 

What year and is it an NA?

When you replaced the filter did you unplug the AFM sensor for any reason?

i have an 89 gxl n/a

yes i did remove the maf

 

Did you remember to plug it back in???


Its also distinctly possible that you broke a wire to the AFM. (ther is no maf on this car, its an AFM. there is a difference, and it is significant )

My bad....no need to take it so personal, just a typo. All fixed just for you.

Make sure the AFM is plugged in.

yes everything is plugged in but still no idle... and its weird cuz the lights in the dash just turned dim

 

ok nvm just fixxed everything this morning.... say does anyone know where i can get those mini air filters for the air pump hose?

 

Nothing personal. It just can confuse the issue when people try searching about MAF conversions, or are having problems with their AFM and keep callling it a maf. They are just two completely different animals.

What was the issue for future refrence.

btw there is a guy on TeamFC3s.org getting a MAF to work with our ECU inplace of the AFM. Should be interesting.
