Hi All,
This is gonna be a long post, but I'm really stumped by this problem with my '87 Turbo T. Up until November the car ran fine. Then over the holidays I decided to redo my VDO oil pressure guage to work with the factory idiot light so I tee'd them to work together. While I was at it I decided to add the RJC power plate and clean up the EGR passages. All went well till I started the car up. It'd start for a split second then would stall really fast. A friend said to try unhooking the MAF connector in case it was bad. Car started up but rpm's pegged at 2000! I thought a unhooked MAF would make the car barely idle... Anyways, I had a spare (good) OEM MAF that I had in the garage. Put it in, starts then stalls really quick also. I unhook the connector, fast idle at 2000 rpm again. I figure it's time for the Translator and new MAF. Ordered a Trans+ and 3" MAF from Mike. Just got it last week. Hooked it up under the hood but left the timing connector unhooked. Same problem again! Unhook connector, fast idle at 2000! I'm lost, is this a sign of another bad MAF?
