Thread: HELP!!!!

Thanks fellas. I appreciate all the advice and help so far. I just got back from the garage and decided to start the car again to see if anything has changed overnight. Of course, starts right back up and feels solid. 5 mins later, the car idles down again and dies. So I re-checked the wiring and re-wired one more time just to make sure there is a good/solid connection for all used wires. Started it up and runs solid for approx. 3 mins, then idles down and dies. After beating my head on the table, I decided to look at the OEM intake tube that is connected to the MAF and I see some cracks. Some small, and some pretty big to create a leak. Could this be a possible problem? I'm definitely going to replace it with a short ram pipe soon, considering I will not be boosting until this problem has been resolved. One step at a time. Here below is a video from today. Sorry for the volume quality. You may have to turn up your speakers a bit.

Thanks for the advice and step by step instructions. I will start from here. I just need to get my hands on a multi-meter or a voltage meter first.

Thanks. Definitely will let you fellas know once I resolve this headache.

Yes if you are introducing unmetered air that's definitely a problem. I'd fix that pipe before anything else

I did the twist and tape method for my MAF wires and it lasted three years before finally 2 of them separated on the first hot day of the season (84 degrees, the glue on the tape I guess just finally gave way

Sure it was a PITA to figure out what it was, but my back hurts enough from bending over and I'm lazy

it's possible, I don't know about the Z32, but my N60 MAF was miswired for about 6 different startups b/c I'm colorblind and I fixed it and it runs fine. it happens but I think its rare

LOL. Its definitely a PITA. Hopefully when my short ram comes in, hopefully this will fix it. MAF and everything seems legit. I can't tell you guys how much I've re-wired the MAF thinking its my wiring. I guess only time will tell. Gotta start troubleshooting backwards.

How much bigger is the Z32 than the N60 in bore size? I came across an E60 MAF the other day but don't feel like having my ECU redone for it. It looked identical to the N60

Wish I could tell ya bro.

E/N60 are 70mm
Z32 is a 76mm

Intake tube isn't the problem.
Replace your MAF. Simple as that.

My car was doing the same thing, if it was cold the car ran great once it warmed up a bit it'd start doing what yours does.
All i had was a bad maf.

Check how the maf is performing....
