Smile GS 430 SRT intake +ECU

Hi I'm kinda new here. Gotta question about installing the SRT intake with ECU.
First off I have a 2002 GS 430.
I have installed everything so far. I have soldered all of the connections. I have checked the wiring multiple times and can't figure out why my car wont idle. I start the car up and it will idle very low for about 30 seconds and then shut down. Does anyone hear know what to do next?
Thanks.

Make sure the maf sensor is in correctly, I am willing to bet it is on backwards

this is a common problem when installing...like gs fonzy said, its your Mass air flow sensor...its probably upside-down...

dont unscrew it, just take that mid section pipe where the MAF is located and flip it around....see if that works for u.

Wow you guys are good!! Thanks it was a quick fix. Exactly as you said. I didn't think that it could be upside down because the MAF can only go on one way. I flipped the whole tube over and that did the trick. It sounds awesome. Thanks again for the quick help guys.
