i believe that i hooked all the wires up the correct way, but my car runs fine for 3 seconds and shuts off. I have read all the diagrams and have my wire connected like so...

Black/White 12v(CA harness) to pin E on (Z32 MAF)Black ground (CA) to C+D (Z32)Green/Black to pin B (Z32)

I dont have anything soldered because i wanted to make sure that i got everything right. Could this be the problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

IIRC, If you wire it up backwards, it sends 12V out of the the signal line of the MAFS and toasts the ECU.

i dont think the ecu is toast. the commander for the power fc im running still functions normally but i have noticed that when i go to start the engine the fuel pump doesn't prime as long as it normally does. the commander shows that my injector duty cycle goes up to 1.2 and the engine pulls 15-18 in hg of vac. im lost
