Hi everyone, I'm new here on forum.
I have swapped out my old engine and I have put in a red top beams engine. I tried starting it today but it didn't fire, and I saw a topic about connecting the red/black wire with the black at the EA1 plug. It worked and it started and died 2 sekunds after. First of I thought it was vacuum problem coursing it to die out, because if I gave it some revs I could keep it alive. By some reason I tried disconnect the airflow sensor, and now it runs "perfect" (Engine failure light on). I'm I missing a wire to connect or something, or is it a new air flow sensor? It gets +B and earth, and I have tested the other 3 wires and it seems like they give some signal |

![]() If it's available near you. As long as the MAF (mass air flow sensor) is in the OEM MAF housing, you should be good. It's a very, very sensitive MAF that needs to be in that housing so it gets an accurate reading, otherwise the engine won't run properly, but it sounds like your setup should work. DO you have a picture of your intake setup? -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

I tried cleaning the MAF and it didn't help, not enough to feel any differens.
Shouldn't I just order a new one tomorrow? |
