Pull the ECU and pull the cover off and look for burnt stuff, and if it smells like rotten fish there are issues. If you unplug the MAF it should default to RPM vs TPS, so either you have another bad MAF, faulty wirering, dropped tune, or an issue in the ECU.

I checked the ecu and there were no burnt caps or anything, and as for the maf it was running fine with the 2g maf for a few weeks now just recently died. Replaced maf with another and same results.

Did you clean the pins on the maf pigtail? Boost leak test? Having the maf plug off will throw it in limp mode and allow it to run rich with major leaks. As soon as you plug it in it will read normal but die cause of leaks

I have not checked for corroded pins yet so ill do that, and I've done a boost leak test already and no major boost leak but ill probably do it again.

Thanks again ill try these ideas and see if it works.

Check the fuse for the alternator, they do all kinds of crazy stuff if that blows and no 2 cars seem to do the same thing. After that I would agree with John and try out another ECU.

yea i've tried another ecu already and same thing happens. so ill have to check for corrosion in the wires or boost leak test again.

Do you have any gas?


I checked it out tonight, it runs fine with the maf plugged in, as long as i am manually blowing air through it.... Feels like there is no suction of air from intake at all? So either im thinking a major boost/vacuum leak or NO gas! Hahaha..... Other than that i got it to run with the maf plugged in!

Alright so I've finally found some time to mess with the car again and I switched out the tps, tried a few mafs, did boost leak test, and no corrosion on pigtails but car is still not running...... Damn, help me out...

Pull the plugs after it runs poorly and see if it's running super rich or super lean, then trace back from there.

I don't have a wideband.

You don't need a wideband to look at your plugs to see if its rich or lean.
