Ok. I know that there have been lots of threads about the Z32 MAF and the SAFC setup, but I'm kinda stuck. This is the story: My car was running great with the stock injectors and stock MAF. It was boosting great and I ran 14.6 sec on the quartemile with 60' at 2.414. Now, I've put in the new MAF and the car was running rough where I had to put the sensors at 3in 4 out for low speed and 2in 4 out for full thottle. I only used this for a ive min ride, and made my peace with it. I did this because I was gonna get the car dyno-tuned and figured that would fix the prblem. So last night I put in the 370cc injectors, and my car was horrible. Sputtering and blowing gas smoke. I replaced the spark plugs because they were filled with sut. The car still doesn't turn over all the way and its very shaky. What could my problem be? I'm running out of ideas. There is obviusly lots of fuel(the smoke tells me that) and there is spark. The MAF wasn't working great before(untune) but at least it drove. I need my baby to run. It makes me physically sick in my stomach. please help!

why are you using those settings? are those working? it should be 1in 5 our or sometimes people use 2in and 5 out...some people also use 2in and 6 out..try those...if those doesnt work then check the ground for your MAF...it could be a bad ground making it seem like the MAF isnt working at all causing your car to work sh*tty

yup, check ur grounds again. most people that have this issue either have some kind of issue with the grounds on the MAF or the actual MAF is faulty. lets hope it is the grounds or the wiring..........
