Well d@mn. After doing some research on MAF conversions, I realized that the very wire I just described is probably causing my code 95. When the conversion was done on my car, the wire that monitors the fuel system was not ran, therefore causing a code 95. I went outside just now and ran that wire and sure as hell, the code went away! I now only have codes 81, 82, and 85. Those, as PKRWUD already said, are smog related and all that equipment isn't on my car. Therefore, I have a stang that won't start and no codes to tell me why. I have spark to the plugs, fuel to the schrader valve and no problems getting air into my MAF. While cranking the motor, I've moved the distributor all around and had to luck. I haven't pulled my distributor lately, so unless changing the EEC to a good one may have required me to change my timing, then that shouldn't be an issue. As far as compression is concerned, the motor isn't even a year old and I haven't had any problems with it when it runs. My fuel filter is kinda old, and I don't have a guage to check fuel pressure, but other than that, I HAVE NO IDEA what could be wrong. My TFI is new, and my fuel system seems to be working fine. Plugs look fine and wires are new. Mods are in my sig and I will welcome any possibilities at this point, even the obvious ones due to the fact that my brain is so fried at this point that I'm sure I may easily be overlooking something that would usually seem obvious. PKRWUD, thanks for all of your help so far, and thanks to you, we've eliminated some possibilities. What next? Anyone?
