My 1992 240sx will not start when the air mass meter is pluged in. When i unplug it the car will run for a second or two if I hit the gas it dies. I got the codes from the ECU the first code was one slow blink with two fast ones and the second was three slow and four fast. If anyone knows what it could be please let me know.

34 can go off if it barely starts or not at all, even w/o knock. esp if it misfires badly

12 can happen also if over/underfueling very bad i.e. dead FPR or pump, in additino to MAF and MAF wiring issues.

I'm guessing he mistook CA for Canada, that is if he doesn't actually have a CA.

Start with by checking the wiring to your AFM and if that doesn't help, check and/oe change your AFM. This an engine specific forum "CA18DET" and if you do not have this engine under your hood, please search NICO for the forum that's specific to your engine code.
