So i was trying to figure out what was wrong with my car, and in the process, i took out the MAF sensor, and cleaned it. then re-installed it. I took my distributor cap off again, and found that the button had a crack all the way up it. so i went, and found a new one at auto zone. Got it on.

When i went to start it, it fired, and run for about half a second, then dies. It couldnt be the ditributor, so i unplugged the maf, and fired it. and it did the same thing. so i re-installed if about 3 times, now result.

What could this be?

 

What was the original problem?

 

Plug wires back on in the right order?

 

What exactly did you clean the MAF with? Please tell me it wasn't brake cleaner or carb cleaner...

 

Check the AFM with this procedure
Air Flow Meter (AFM) - from "The 944 Motronic DME" by FR Wilk
Take a deep breath and take your time, good luck
