Z32 MAF issues

I just swapped on a AFM from VG30DETT. I spliced and soldered the harness onto the existing wires and plugged it into my intake snorkel. However when I went to start the car (it did need to be jumped due to the fact that it has not been started in a while) it would start and rev up to about 1500-1600RPM and then slowly trickle down until it stalled out. Is this an issue because the car sat for 5 weeks while work was being done on it or is this more likely due to the new AFM? Any insite?

Do you have LAN's chip?
It will not work if you don't.

It won't work meaning that there will be no gains or it won't work as in the car won't run properly?

Both!
It will run like cr@p if at all without ECUTunes chip.
Call Mike,305-546-9359 and tell him what you are doing.
If you are running a modified engine, (turbo, supercharger, NOX,) his chip, around $219, if I remember correctly, is well worth it!

I do not give out praise easily, and only if it is deserved.
His chip is worth it, if your engine is MORE than stock!
Tom.
Curmudgeon at large!

The Z32 maf is useless without something to make sense of the voltage.

What were the specs on your porting? how much for the intake and how much for the exhaust?

Sicksubie,

Looks like you've been watching SVXFiles and my posts Port matching the intake - injector stacks - heads does wonders (using the phenolic spacers as your templates). The intake can also use some work where the TB attaches - general smoothing of surfaces. Since you want a good mixing of the intake flow, you can probably pass on polishing the intake runners and save your polishing efforts for the exhaust ports.

-Bill

Why exactly are you taking the heads off?? You can do the cams in the car with the head on, just the valve covers need to come off
