So I'd figure I should install a maft in my beater. I did everything as I was assign to do. I set the maft right before the bov poiting the 'airflow' towards the TB. I connected the little plug from the translator to the gm maf, and the larger plug to our old maf plug. I was told I should not touch the purple and the white wire since I am NOT going to be using the maft for tuning. So I left the two wires untouch, just hanging. I also made sure all settings were zero out before starting the car. I put the key ON position and the green light stays on while the red led blinks, than after 5 seconds it goes off than it blinks again repeatly. So I started the car, the it seems the car is not getting no fuel in. Sorry about the long post, too much energy(rockstars).
This is the newest version of the maft as well. With a 3"gm maf.
 
Oh yes between the TB and bov. So I should have the base knob at 2. I will fix this to see if it helps.
 
I set it to base 2. And it tries really hard to start and ones she does she dies right away.
 
I also removed both neg and positive cables off the battery. As well the red led blinks 7 times, witch means that unit detected a reset while the engine was running. What does this mean?
Aux is set to zero and base is set to 2.
 
If you mean if my 650s arw dialed in dsmlink, yes they are. No boost leaks prior to the maft install. I do have the hose from the valve cover without a breather is this ok? Also I am going to be replacing the hose that goes from the bottom of the intake mani to the bov because it is too short. Any other things guys? Is there like a step by step that I need to follow in order to dial in the correct values on the translator? Even though I only moved one nob...
