Ran the car, code came up shut off the car did the ground-green wire turn car back on didn't show any codes but after looking on forums I think it might be the map or maf sensor.

Now I have to figure out how to test them :-/

Anyone that could help with that I would forever be greatful 💜

Thanks
Christal

Update: i found out that there was a leak in the fuel line coming from that vacle thing to the fuel rail. Is it a possibility that's my problem? I'm still waiting for the intake gaskets, so I won't know till I get them :-/

Thanks

Sounds like the Pulsation dampener which is a MAJOR cause of engine fires on these engines.
IF you care for your car enough,do NOT start or run the car Until you get this fuel leak fixed.
Or have the Fire Dept on Speed-dial.

Ok, replaced ecu, omp, vaf, map, all fuel line, what do I have left? Oh!! The tps, tested it idle it was 1539 ohms, wide open throttle OL, where the throttle works at it seems to read past that no continuity. Hmm... So I bought one off eBay, we'll see if that will work when it gets here :-/

Just an update

Keep it simple first... Checked fuel pressure?
Put new plugs in?
Got good spark at the leads?

Oh and check you have good voltage at the key whilst running with heater and lights on....
