Default QUICK HELP. Car Won't Start after SRT install

Have to get to work so hopefully someone will answer this quick.

I installed the SRT Intake now car won't start. It turns over but then it dies right away. The only thing I did not so was install the ECU yet. I don't have time. I was going to install the intake then the ECU tonight when I got home. I have read of guys running it without the ECU but I cannot even keep it going long enough to pull it in the garage and take my other car to work.

Please help me

Make sure you installed MAF correctly, try switch MAF position and than try to re start. I was running intake w/o ecu for few hours w/o any problems, also make sure vacuum hoses are properly connected, all i can thik of now

if i got to this forum earlier, i woulda said something wrong with the sensor as well. nice job with the quickness!

lucky you, you probably have everything in the right direction, but where i put my MAF sensor... that tubing part of the intake i have on backwards cuz the people at SRT forgot to send me a rubber part. and i didn't bother waiting a couple of days for them to ship... so i put it in backwards and it works! (don't worry the sensor is in the opposite direction of the arrow so its in the right direction hehe)
