I just took the air filter box out of the car and put my adapter on the Mass Airflow Sensor part and put the cone filter on.

I cranked the car and it runs for a second and shuts off. I tried disconnecting the battery but it still wont run.

Did I forget to do something? Do I need to re-set the ECU and if so, how?

I have a 88 Vert with a TII swap everything is stock except the exhaust...

Thanks!

 

Here are some pics..

 

not sure if thats the problem but i would get a small filter(breather etc. ) on there.

 

i basically did the same thing but mine runs good... and i think that would be a good idea to put a breather (small air filter) in there since it sucks air too

 

That's strange, we started the car up and backed it ot of the shed and started taking the box out and now it won't run....

I will just throw everything back in tomorrow morning to see if that get's it back up running again...

This car is driving me nutz, if it's not one thing it's another...*Shrugs shoulders*

 

double check that the intake is secured on there tight, and isnt leaking from AFM to turbo inlet.....

double check the air flow meter conection is snug and conected properly, make sure you didnt damage the conector?? wires are brittle after 15 or so yrs....... other hten that it should run....

based on what you did and that it starts for a second and shuts off, its either a large vac leak, or the AFM isnt pluged in properly( maybe a wire got damaged????)

that large open hose is to the air pump and shouldnt matter.

 

I'll defenately check those things tomorrow, the thing that was weird to me is that when i plug the connector in, it doesn't "clip" in, it just slided on there, so that might be the problem.

If i get the car running, i'll put a little breather filter on that thing, but man, this car has been a pain in the

 

Put on a breather anyways. Sheeh. Is the AFM is a stockish location/level?

 

Yeah, the AFM is just laying there now...

I still can't get the sucker to run, it will crank up to 2000rpm and fall down to a stall. Wonder if the wires to the MAF is bad, they look decent...

 

Breather

 

Fixed it, I followed the big tube after the MAF sensor and found it hanging loose where it was suppose to sit on the engine block. It feels like it spools fast now...feels good, now I need to get that boost controller in there too
