i go to work in 4 hours!!! i installed the injen short ram, now the car wont start! 01 v6 eclipse.

i forgot to unplug the MAS before i installed it (i did disconnect the battery cable) so after words i disconnected the battery and the sensor, reconnected the battery and put the plug back in and still no start. so i completely disconnected the battery and the MAS. could it be that i have to plug in the MAS before reconnecting the battery? HELP FAST!

Did you plug the MAF back in? Or MAS, whatever you have that's connected to the intake.
Ooops, read too fast, lol.

Try disconnecting the battery and press then press the brakes and hold it for about 15 seconds. Plug the power back up and try to start it again.

Yeah when you disconnect the battery you have to kill residual juice in the circuits. That's why it takes at LEAST 15 minutes if you're not messing with stuff for it to register to reset.

Did you put all the vacuum lines back the way they were? Check your fuses and fusible links in the engine bay fusebox.

Have you tried to reinstall the stock airbox? I doubt that it'll do anything but it won't hurt to try.
