So my car has sat for a little while while I tried to install my 2g maf and 550's. I believe I got the pigtail wired right, it came from a 3000GT NT and got things all put together when I went to start it it wont turn over. It's getting fuel that I know when i un plugged the hose that goes to the fuel rail. If I had the harness hooked up wrong would that make the car not start?


I read wiring is :

2G ---------------------- 1G
red/black ---------------- green/orange
blue --------------------- green/white
black -------------------- green/black
pink ---------------------- green/yellow
green/red ---------------- green/red
white/black --------------- green/blue
red ----------------------- red
 
MAF wiring does not make a difference to the engine turning over. You need to look at the starter connections and possibly the clutch safety switch (manual) or make sure your car is in park (auto)
 
*******UPDATE********

So after a while I got it started, it's running like pure ass. I'm hearing a hissing sound coming from the driver side like there's a leak. It wont stay running unless I'm touching the gas. I just put 550 injectors in with a 2g maf which should run just fine. Am I missing something? I thought maybe the injectors were't seated hence the leak, but there would be fuel spraying out which there's not.

***I'm guessing the lower injector or injectors are leaking air hence the hissing sound.*** I'm almost sure thats why it runs like crap. Anyone know the part number for EVO 550CC? Guess I'll do a seal on all 4

Seals on the bottm are the same for 450cc and 550cc. Just order some stock ones and be happy. Also making sure they go in straight. It is common to put then in a little crooked and cause a massive vacuum leak.
