Electrical problems are difficult to troubleshoot over the Internet. The lack of punctuation and capitalization makes your post even more difficult to understand. There are only about 4 guys on Stangnet who will even attempt to troubleshoot an electrical/computer problem. All of them will tell you the same thing: translating a poorly written post into understandable English leads to confusion and frustration. If we can't understand what you are saying, we can't help you fix it.

Are you using a completely different Mass Air harness or simply one of the kits that supplies the MAF connector, wiring and pins?

Can you read electrical diagrams and do you have access to a good working Multimeter or DVM? You will need both.

Edit your post so that is is readable without having to translate it and I will try to help you.
