You did plug the MAF back in right? Pull the negative cable, wait ten minutes, then try it again.

Glad you got it all figured out. I know when I installed my Blackwing, I never had any issue at all with the car.

Well, its mostly stupidity on my part, unplugging something i didnt know i did, but thanks to Tim's help, i took a breath, stepped back, and noticed it after his advise. It is funny however , that i got all the wacko stuff that i did.
So, after a quick spin, I honored her with a good scrub down . In all am happy, i'll take her for a good run tommorow and see how all fairs.
