I swapped my motor out of my coupe into my hatch. I daily drove it for 2 weeks fine until the brakes got really bad and starter quit. So I just decided to finish my CA swap. I finished it and I took the battery, fuel pump, and maf pigtail. I just recently decided to finish the hatch so I put in a battery, fuel pump and saudered in a new pigtail. I go to start it up and It runs really rich and idles rough. I checked the ecu and it throws code 12 which is the air flow sensor. I've tried three different mafs and a different ecu. Still no luck. The connection to the maf is good and is getting a signal. Any suggesstions? Wire the maf straight to the ECU? Thanks.

Well it seems that either the MAF or ECU are the problem and since you replaced them that leaves the wiring. So I would look into that and wire it directly like you say.

but your sure that the MAF is good because chances are that will go before the ECU?
