So i bought a 97 gsx with a 6 bolt swap and it blew up first time i started it never even made it out od the driveway, so i conpletely rebuikt the engine with new block new valves gaurds and seals, oem crank, manley h beam rods, weisco 8.3 to 1 compression pistons, acl race bearings oem oil pump new oem timing belt and pulleys, mitsubishi balance shaft stub as i removed the balance shafts, cometic headgasket, topline gasket kit and head bolts, arp main bolts and studs, and put the engine together and dropped it in and it cant stay running unless the mass air flow sensor is unplugged, and when it is it runs in "limp mode" where it runs super rich and cant get past 3500 rpms in neutral, and around 2 under its own weight. I replaced the maf with one from oreilys and that didnt fix the issue it still cant even idle with the maf plugged in. Does anyone have any advice what could cause this? Im faily certain its an electrical issue, i did take the ecm (engine control module) from a 91 gs could it be that is somehow throwing the engine off? The check engine light only comes on when i have the maf unplugged and thats because its unplugged. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated ive put alot of worm and money into this and i feel like im super close but i still cant drive it. Thanks for any help!
