Can't Get The Fookin Maft To Work

Super Bleeder!! · 05-27-2004

hooked it up, turned the key, no LED action. it says the plug is a shitty fit, and it is, so i tried bending the pins a bit to make them fit better but still no go. maybe i should just slather on some dielectric grease...i dunno

how have you other maft-ers got your shiz working?

I didn't have a problem at all hooking mine up, I've taken it in and out quite a few times too.

Have you tried having someone wiggle the connector (see if LEDS will come on) to make sure the MAFT is good and not defective?

Mines a 2G so maybe its a better fit?

good luck.

I just hooked everything up and everything worked

The plug is kinda crappy becuase it doesnt have a clip but miine stays together.

Plugged mine in and waalaa!

The RPM wire did you guys just pull the wire from the ecu or somewhere from the engine bay?

can you get me close to where the rpm sensor is.. i don't have time to do the research and abviously you have already done it..

CAS???

A//// Guy · 05-28-2004

Yea Imnot sure about on a 2G, but on my 1G You tap the black wire (pin 2) on the CAS to the White wire from the MAFT

ok, i did the same thing there was NO lights on mine either

but then again it probably goes away as you turn the car on, i couldn't look and turn it on at the same time .. i need to work on my speed of being in 2 spots at the same time... ..

will let you know more sooner... now its RTFM time..

ok, i didn't do anything special with it, just pluged in two ends and it worked... just put some dielectric grease on both plugs and pluged it in. started the car just fine.. no issues what so ever.

did you figure out your problem?

ehh no, i just got back from chicago and was thus gone. i'll just keep driving around on the mas till i get some IC pipe action....which most likely means more problem posts will appear here

ill take a pic of my setup,, its super simple, but it works.
