I have everything hooked up and with the instructions that came with the translator box, it says to make sure that the pink wire on the translator box lines up with the pink wire on the maf connector or damage can result. But when plugged in, the pink wire on the translator connector can only line up with a reddish/pink wire on the maf plug. Do i have this wired correctly? This is the only way that it can be plugged it though. Thanks alot, Justin
installing delphi LT1 3" maf and translator box

ok thanks. I pulled back the tape and saw that it was a very faded pink. I started the car and checked my scanmaster numbers and they were all out of whack. Do you know what the 02 minivolts should be reading when warmed up at idle? Because mine were fluctuating as low as 030 and as high as the 700's.
I checked my settings and they seemed right. have the base setting to 3 which is for my LT1 maf. You can set it for leaner or richer at idle but i just have it set at 3 which is just normal. My WOT switch is set at 0 (No Change) because i still have the factory original chip. Before i installed the new maf my blms were ridiculously low (105) now my blm's are at 150. Do you have any idea what caused this?
i'm assuming you have the 3" sensor, if so your settings are correct....i would check for an air leak AFTER the maf because the computer is adding a ton of fuel....one other thing, translator might not work correctly with a stock chip...i don't see anything in the mode switch settings for a stock chip, so you may have to get a chip.....Eric Marshal is THE man!!!!
if they're bone stock originals, here's my suggestion....they could be dirty/clogged/worn out and giving you some of your problems too...talk to Eric at TurboTweak and get yourself a set of msd 50 lb'ers and a chip to match....the chip can be reburned if you do mods later, and 50 lb'ers will carry you well into 11's with alky.... do yourself another favor and get rid of the Walbro and get a Red's XP...nothing but problems with Walbros lately....

the O2's bounce around from 000 to 800 with a closed loop chip so I wouldnt worry about those at idle. Or, i could be wrong. My MAF translator works fine with my stock injectors and stock chip. My injectors where recently flowed though, so that could be the diff. I def suggest getting a new set of injectors and a chip burned as the guys suggested.
However,you don't need a chip and injectors. Be patient and stay the course. The next thing is to install the regulator that 87-WE2 is sending you. Your MAF is acting as it should. Did you inspect your flexible air duct that connects the MAF to the turbo. Any un-metered air entering the motor can cause high BLMs.

Hopefully you have the correct Translator stock chip and inj are not the problem . Trans is a plug n play thing so that being said what version is it and where did you purchase it from ? Let us know all your setting.
This is what it is supposed to do.
