Ok heres the situation my maf isnt working right some how I cant get it to run. I used 2 mafs and ecu and it didnt solve anything so im pretty stump. heres the symptoms basically when the cars warms up it dies with the maf on. with out it runs fine but idles horrible 500rpm and bogs to up 950. when it colds it idles fine both with and w/o maf. so im really lost. when i rev it when it warmed up it stalls (w/o maf) it's keeping my ecu from detecting it i used a mutimeter to check the wires the middle has no resistant to ground the rest of the wires have some resistant. how do i ground the maf anyone have the wire scheme for it

you COULD try testing the MAF lines from the ECU side to the Maf connecter.

you might have a break along it.

you definately need a diagram because the ecu needs to see the ground input from the maf so tat wire needs t obe run properly. the reason your car runs ok when it is cold is because the ecu is in ope loop and runs off of the tps only. be sure all wiring and connections are good to the maf and to the knock sensor.
