If your talking about the ka24e maf then wire it like this.

Black goes to CA black = groundKA Black/white goes to CA black/white =12voltsKA white goes to CA green/black = signal 0-5voltsCA green/yellow no connection

Have you tried pulling ecu codes?

KAE and CA mafs aren't interchangeable. The car will run, but not well.

There are directions in the stickies to wire up the ka-e mafs, but you'll either need a SAFC to compensate for it being wrong, or get the chip tuned for the mafs. Getting the chip burned is preferable.
