I just installed it yesterday, and everytime i start up my 2.2, it sputters then doesnt idle. Im pretty sure its the Mass Airflow sensor, because the car runs when it is not plugged in. maybe its in backwards? or anyone else know any other solution?

Check if it is backwards and clean your throttle body.

Clean out your maf with maf cleaner betting your filter was over oiled and got some in it.

Could also try disconnecting the battery for a bit to let the ECU reset.

Have a picture of the whole thing installed? Strange that it would fit backwards and not correctly. Is the tube on backwards?

Turn the pipe around?
Cuz I don't think it can go in backwards with the piping in correctly.

Just thinking aloud, I can't imagine yours being the only one that they drilled wrong.

i dont see how you could put it on backwards, the screws dont line up... at all, if its upside down. a picture of it would help and hope nothing is screwed up.
