    S52 OBD2 Rough idle and other weird issues

    Hey, so I'm running an OBD2 S52 with the M50 manifold and m50 fuel rail and the car when first fired up idled well and sounded great as seen in the video posted below.
    Car specs
    OBD2 S52
    Flashed Siemens ECU with necessary deleted systems
    Wiring harness modified by Dave@markert
    M50 intake manifold w/m50 fuel rail and S52 Throttle body
    Car was run open exhaust manifold and intake in the vids later tried a MAF with no difference

    After the video was shot we weren't able to fire up the engine again, then after messing with it for awhile I finally got it to fire up again, but this time it was much different than in the video.

    It was missing, poor idle, and occasionally on startup would scare the living shit out of me and go WOT all by itself.

    What could the problem be? Its odd that the car could go from idling well to having these issues.


    If, needed ill try to get a video of it now

    could this have anything to do with the 8+ month old gas in it? should I drain it and fill it up with fresh stuff? doesn't really make sense since it was the same gas used when the engine idled well

    thanks
    -Craig

      Doesn't need a MAF to run

      The MAF plug only takes OBD1 MAF's so I have to figure out whats going on there
