        try another maf, and search for vaccuum leaks? it seems at least your fuelling isn't an issue anymore? or?

          have you checked all grounds, soldered and shrink wrapped all wiring connections and checked them again?

          Usually people wiring swaps make mistakes and don't make catch them till start up round after exhausting every single possibility with throwing parts at it (human nature, I've done it also).

            Added some coolant to the equation today, and in true 'take one step forward then two back' fashion - as has become the norm for the project, my thermostat housing is leaking like a sieve.:drink::woowoo: SO I'm ordering a new tstat gasket tonight and a new thermostat while I'm at it just to be safe.

            I figured, what the hell, lets try anyways - and it started right up like last time, still hunting for idle around 2000 rpm up and down. I got it on video too - blipped the throttle for the first time ever since the swap... at least I got a smile out of that :pimp::D

            That was short lived though... because my droid x has been a piece of shit lately. The damn thing froze (surpriseeee) while it was saving my video...

            So at this point, I think its fair to say that it starts fine, once a day first try, but then on subsequent trys (even with airing out the throttle and adding starting fluid ) the car won't start.

            Not the way I was hoping this friday would go.

                Did we ever get a resolution to this? Bad MAF? Vacuum leak? What did it turn out to be?
