So i recently did swapped a S13 red top into my s13, everything works properly but it wont run with the Maf plugged in. It wont even start. When unplugged it itll start fine and run great (obviously in limp mode) but the minute the connector touches the plug the car dies. Now i have 2 known working maf sensors (ones from a single cam ka, and ones a z32) and i have a brand new Wiring Specialties pro harness, and have tried 3 different ecus. ...same problem. I have triple checked for Boost/vacuum leaks and have found nothing. I can even put my hand over the intake while the car is running and itll choke out the car and itll die. Im at a complete loss here and cannot for the life of me figure this out. Any help or input would be GREATLY appreciated.

your maf might not be getting power check the wiring at the ecu and trace it to the maf plug

So i got 12v to the power wire, however my signal wire is getting .002 volts any reason why?

The 4 pin connector goes like this
A. No pin
B. 12v
C. Negative
D. Signal
If you have power and ground, then pull the sensor out and clean it, otherwise try a different maf because z32 is completely different and probably won't run good at all

I'd try cleaning the maf and if that doesn't help try a different one, it might be bad
