Well luckily the AEM has a bypass plug that will let me disconnect the unit from the wiring harness and run right from the ECU, so if I am having problems (as I am now) I can just unplug it and still be able to drive the car. Awesome feature if you ask me. I did not wire in a resistor as I wasn't sure if I would need one, and I did not have one in the box. When the AEM is plugged in, the car will crank but won't turn over. So you think the MAF wire could be the issue?
Well anytime we had to wire in a piggyback or something, we always had to put in a pull down resistor because the MAF voltage would be too high. The factory ecu has one on it's input circuitry... Try starting it like I told you and see if it does anything.
