i bought a n/a 1992 eagle talon with a turbo setup already installed. but it was not finished. i fix all boost leaks and the car ran ok until the n/a computer saw boost, then it would break up, i just recently installed a turbo ecu, turbo 450cc injectors and resistor pack and a turbo maf sensor. now the car will not idle with the maf plugged in, if i unplug the maf it will idle fine?? i tried another maf sensor with no luck. anyone have any ideas?
 
yes i ran the extra maf wire to pin #6 and the the knock sensor to pin #9 on the ecu. and then of course the other wire on the knock to ground. i have double checked all my wiring and soldered and shrink wraped the wires to ensure good connection.
 
yes a 1g turbo maf, i even installed a 2ed one and still no change. today i decided i would take out the ecu and check the internals and i may have found the problem, it looks like one of the capacitors blew. i never checked the computer before i installed it so im not sure if i did this or the ecu was already like this
