red top not idleing right

so finish my swap today so decided to go for a test run...

-not idleing right, sputters..below 500 and eventually shuts off...
-in 1st it starts bogging down at 4000
-in 2nd it cuts at 3000
-same with 3rd, 4th, 5th

dude thats the maf

when i did my swap i didnt plug in my maf all the way did the same thing

so might be not plugged in right or bad wiring to the maf or the maf it self but im 100% positive its the maf

all my cylinders are firing...

nxt is the maf.. pretty sure the wiring is good but i will over check it

its wierd cause i ran it on monday night nd it went well over 6000

but after pulling the motor nd putting in new clutch yesterday it went down hill

however i did take out the egr well i didnt want too but i tried hammering in a lil so my steering shaft doesnt hit.. so that's off but not blocked off

also i took off the catch can

is any of those things a culprit?

ok ill try blockin it off..

but today on one of the test drives i did i would be able to reach 5000 no problem but when shifted into 2nd it would sputter nd when put in 3rd, i cant go over 1500.. ????

how bout the catch can? from what i know yu dont need it... but i was wondering if im wrong... does that effect anything?

Maybe a Boost leak?

there is probably a boost/vaccum leak somewhere.

i had that problem one time with my 97 s14 with s13 blacktop swap.

check all vaccum/boost lines.
