Hey I got my ca started today, but with some problems. First started the car and it idled for a couple of seconds and died. After playing around with some stuff, I disconnected the maf and it idles just fine. Also if i give it some throttle it dies. I still am in the process of trying to figure out what to do. Maybe a vaccum lead ? any advice or help is appreciated. thanks

Start the car with the maf .. and let it die... go check your Ecu for code and after that you can start troubleshooting your install. If no code are given .. it should be a vacuum related problem. Be sure to recirculate your air regulator after the MAF my ca18 was doing the same for 2-3 days when i saw this hose was disconnected

good luck ! have fun with your ca18
