Car lacks power when accelerating and shuts off

So I recently swapped out my old 305 for a 305 off of a 1993 Caprice. I put everything in, the car starts, goes into gears and moves. The problem is when i push the gas the car lacks *****. It sounds like its choking. If it is in park, its a different story, it stays on. I hooked up a Solus Pro diagnostic tester and jotted what came up, but cant seem to make sense of it. Anyway, can someone maybe point me in the right direction. The reading is under this. Thanks.

Re: Car lacks power when accelerating and shuts off

well you TPS (throttle position sensor) is reading .72 volts which is idling. http://www.aa1car.com/library/tps_sensors.htm

and your O2 sensor is reading lean

but the main problem is is the map/maf sensor. It is showing 4.76 volts which is close to wide open throttle according to this http://www.aa1car.com/library/maf_sensors.htm

so i would say intake/vacuum leak, MAF vacuum line on the wrong spot, or bad MAF

the MAF sensor just measures vaccuum.

you should be getting codes for 33 (MAF sensor) and 44 (lean O2)
