    I finally figured out what was wrong with oliver. He runs like he just got off the showroom floor. Apparently "Bubba" at Bubba's home carage ran the MAF signal wire wrong and grounded it out so the ECU never saw a good signal and just flooded the engine with fuel. I cut the wire at both ends and ran a new wire to the ECU in a twisted pair to protect the signal from interference. 3 weeks of head aches and hours of pullin the dash out lead to this.




    The new wiring at the ECU


    Good thing I don't have A/C

    ewww dash removal... shutter. Glad you got it figured out. It would have been a shame to do all that for nothing.

            fresh - I did the same thing... I was trying to fit the Aspire dash into my Festiva and pulling the old dash out went wrong.
