i have a 1970 datsun240z i stuffed a sr20det into s13. i have everything hooked up i think. i cant seem to keep the engine running. it will fire but instantly dies.
i i hold the throttle it will rev but die when i let off the throttle. i do have a z32 maf running on the stk ecu for now till i can get it tuned. not sure if this would cause my problem i didnt think it would. any ideas.

yes thats your problem you cannot run a z32 without tuning the ecu for it first. DONT run the car like that it could lean out and have bad drawbacks
