Re: 1st start-up on swap

Does it run better without the MAF connected? If so, that'd indicate that your measured and actual air amounts are different. That could be air leaks or MAF placement if so.

Re: 1st start-up on swap

Why are you attempting to run it without the MAF and O2 sensors installed and connected?

Re: 1st start-up on swap

I have a very hard time believing there are no DTC's with the MAF and O2's disconnected. I'd recommend finishing the installation before attempting to run the engine any further. Without the MAF and O2's, the EEC has no reference to calculate load and determine appropriate fueling.
