NEW PROBLEM 89 Ford Escort
When hose is connected to MAF(?) sensor, car cuts off; when hose is removed from sensor but still connected to engine, car runs. Bought new MAF, before installing, made connections and the car cut off. Any suggestions?

Re: NEW PROBLEM 89 Ford Escort
The MAF senses how much air in volume is getting to the engine. When disconnected it goes to a rich mixture by default on the computer. Check for an too lean mixture. Could be a vacuum leak, leaky PCV valve, dirty Idle Air Control (IAC) or a bad gasket on the intake plenum.
