Aiight i installed my MAF connecter, well the new Connecter didnt have the same colors as the old wires so i just matched the colors up to how it was set up on the old connecter (same set up). I connected it got it done, closed my hood then i took off from my house kinda fast, (it felt better now that i had the MAF back workin) So as i got to the end of my street when i braked, the car just lost power and died, i tried to start it and it wouldnt start. So i just pushed it home from there, it still dont start. i dont know whats wrong, Could i have blown a chip or a sensor by just taking off after installing my new MAF connecter? HELP!!

Shes my daily driver.

If it just died, you need to find out what you are NOT getting. Test for spark, fuel pressure, and injector pulse. Once you know which (or more....) you are not getting, troubleshooting becomes easier.

 

I'm suspicious about you matching up the wire colors.

That may very well be the problem. I'm afraid you're going to need a Shop Manual to identify which wire goes where to make sure that are, in fact, installed correctly.

The engine should continue to run even with the MAF disconnected. The ECM will set a code, but the engine should still be driveable.

I'd first follow the advice already given; check for spark, fuel, etc.

This past Saturday, my car wouldn't start in the garage. I checked my fuel pressure gauge and it was showing fuel pressure. I then attached my timing light, had my son crank the engine, and no spark.

So I knew it was electrical. I then installed a new distributor module that I had bought a year ago and she fired right up. My Dyna Mod distributor module had died.

Hope this helps.
