MAF Acting Up???

[pvt9471]

I had a mechanic work on my KA-T and he messed up the plug on the MAF. According to what I found doing searches on the the forums the order of the wires should be b/w, blk, white starting from the far right (not using the first prong on the left). The car will start and run like this, but it doesn't idle very well and if I give it gas it won't go past like 3k rpms (sounds almost like it has launch control and just bounces off 3k-3.5k rpms). Any ideas where to start? Could the MAF be no good?

If the MAF isn't wired right or is bad the ecu goes into limp mode, which measn it won't let the car rev past 2500ish. So you definitly have a problem...if the mechanic messed up the MAF he needs to fix it or replace whats broken.

Here's the MAF wiring diagram

What was it in for?

Thank's....The mechanic up and moved 700 miles away with my car in pieces.....It was a mess that I am trying to sort out.

Anyone have any experiences with the q45 maf on a ka24det?
