MAF conversion Went Wrong Please HELP!!!!

I completed the convertion according to stangnets tutorial. I startered my car and i had accidently forgot to switch the thermactor pump pins in the eec connector. Once i reliezed this i turned the car off and switced the pins. Now everything is set up perfect. I routed the wires to the fuel pump relay and speed sensor relay. I also disconnected the map sensor and capped off the line going to teh motor. Now when i start my car ity has a really rough idle and if i dont give it gas the car dies. Once it begins to idle it jumps up and down between 550 and 1000 rpms. I am currently using a stock MAF meter the i rigged up to the SD air intake hose. The part of the hose that is hooked up to the MAF meter and the TB is alittle loose around the meter. I tried to get it as tight as i could but its just temperary till i get a cold air kit. I also tried disconnecting the MAF meter and the car accually seemed to run alittle better for a minute. Would a bad mass air meter cause sound a rough idle and rough shaking of the engine? Could i have fryed the computer when i didnt switch the thermactor pump pins? Anything else that could help me? I pulled codes and got 84 and 95 i know what teh codes mean but what can i do to eliminate them? Please help me!!!!

Did you disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to reset the computer so it can re-learn your new config?

Here are the codes.


84 EGR Vacuum Regulator - Solenoids
EGR cutoff solenoid - Solenoids
EGR Vent solenoid - Solenoids

95 (O) Fuel pump: open, bad ground or always on - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits
(R) AIR not Diverting (AIRD) - Air Injection
(M) Possible bad fuel pump ground or open between fuel pump and pin 8 at PCM (Fuel Pump Monitor signal) - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits

when I did my conversion my car ran like $hit for a while. Most people were telling me that it takes the computer a while to "learn". I didnt do anything to it and it ran fine a few weeks later.

if you unhooked the meter and it seemed to run better then you've probably already answered your own question.meters do go bad,if you need a good meter i've got a 1 year old ford meter for 19lbs that i'll sell for $25 plus shipping if you need one.
