ok on the maf the second prong from the last that is goldish in color does any one know what that does i dont know the color of the wire becasue i did the bp swap into a festiva so i have a festiva harness. but it is the wire that goes to the ecu and doesnt splice sith any other wires. it is withe on the festiva. if i unplug this wire from the maf the car will run as long as you dont try to rev the motor, but it you hook it up the car wont start. if you have it un pluged and the car running and you plug it in teh car will shut off any body have a idea?
i have changed the maf twice and no diffrences

sounds like a bad maf. that's a simple way to test it. if the car won't start with it plugged in, but it starts and runs when you unplug it, the maf is bad.

haha yeah thatnks for tellin me that i knew that already tho. i have done it with 4 mafs tho, and its jsut one wire in the maf plug

 

[me19875]

o... just replace the plug then.

 

[hofficergrover]

i dont have one and i dont think it will fix it because that one wire is waht makes the car do the funny things it does haha

 

[hofficergrover]

ok i did replace the plug actually i did the hole harness but i still have a problem just like the maf is bad and i have gone thro three escort gt mafs and a festiva maf and still no change it acts like no fuel but it has fuel it dies when you hit the gas.

 

[MATT91GT]

are you using a festiva ecu still?

 

[hofficergrover]

no i have the escort bp 09 ecu i have it all right jsut it wont run right its weird it isnt getting enough fuel this is what it does at a idle and is as long as it will run

 

[hofficergrover]

would a bad tps cause the car to do what it does???

 

[deathtrigga]

did you ever figure out what was wrong with you car same thing is happening to me

 

[hofficergrover]

no i have not but i almost got it im trying a new tps because it does the same thing with it unpluged so i got a new one and going to put it on tomarra. if it fixes mine you might wana try it
