I installed my SAFC last night and im pretty shure i got everything right. But i didnt hook up the air flow sensor wires because i wasnt shure how to do it. Well i found a thread that told me what where and what colors so i did it like it said and now my car runs like shit! It ran fine before i hooked up those 2 wires. I belive its pin 90 that sthe wire you cut in half and i think its blue with a yellow strip. And the thread said to run the orange wire to the wire you cut and the pink wire to the other end of the wire that you cut that goes to the ecu. So i did that and now it bogs untill i hit 3500+ rpm and then it tries to die and also the stock boost gauge dosnt work any more. I un hooked those 2 wires and put that one wire back togather and its fine and runs like it did and the boost gauge also works. So what am i doing wrong or doe sit just need tuned. Also the a/f gauge stays on rich when its hooked up.
 
i looked at my buddies ecu and its upside down comparerd to mine, what color is the wire im looking for? i dont see a just 24 pin connector, the 1st and 4th are larger than the to middle connectors
 
Make sure the AFC has a 0% correction...if it it 0 % check this diagram to make sure you connected these wires only, and in the right spot...

i knew i wasnt crazy with the 90 pin. yeah thats exactly how i hooked it up ,funny thing is i could tell when hooking it up that the previous owner had one in it at some time. ok to set it on karmen how do i do that where it says sensor type i find karmnen but when t i scroll to hit and click on it it just brings up another menu does that me its selected now instead of hot-wire or the other 2 sensor types?
 
if it wasnt set on karmen would it cause it to run like that, and do i need to select 4cyl also, what about that arrow beside where you select your cyl's it point up down or has 2 **'s there.
 
ok ill have to go hook it back up to see if it runs fine now, so if it wasnt set on the right sensor would it cause it to run like that? and after you have it set on Karmen in the menu where you can select to view like the throttle and rpm, and airflow will there also be a selection for karmen after that?
