it stays in the 700 -800+ range .... the only time it stays at 000 o2's is when the translator is plugged up ..... one other thing I noticed when I opened the translator it smells burnt.....

I got a new stock version O2 sensor and its doing the same thing. Can this be a computer problem ? it just runs bad when I plug the translator. it even idle ok ... without anything plugged into the MAF connector on harness.....

I think i narrowed my problem to two things the translator or the maf sensor. I found this out by putting the stock maf on and the car idles good ,but when i install the translator and Lt1 maf it goes to barely running. Is there a way to tell which one is bad?

Since the o2`s are wacked out u think it can be the o2 sensor ? I just put it in a month ago. Think it could of went bad already ? I thought the heated o2`s were more durable than the single wire ones.......?

I'm grasping at straws. Have you got the dip switches in the Translator set to on on on off...and do you have the base knob set correctly for your MAF?

Yes, the jumpers are all set right the base is set correct the WOT is set @ 0 does this sound like a translator problem ? Does anyone know of a way to make sure the translator is working right? The car is running the same way when my maf connector came loose i plugged it back up and it was fine. What should be my next move?

35 with the hose on the regulator and the car running?   maf and blms are correct.  Be sure the car is warmed up and in closed loop otherwise those numbers may change

Yes the fp is around 35..... it moves around 34 -35 psi cause the car is barely running if i give it any pedal at all it will just die.

Ok, i noticed something when i unplug the translator from the harness it will idle fine ..... plug it back up it and i have a bad running car ....... if i leave the translator plugged into the harness and unplug the maf i still have a crappy running car. what do you think ?

Ohh Snap!!, i got another problem i was changing my air filter put it back together now it runs like crap! I unplugged maf it ran better at idle until i press the gas. No check engine light or codes even when the maf is unplugged. I thought i would get a light or code when the maf is unplugged. Seems like maf took a dump, whats your take on the new issue? Seem like before i can fix one problem another shows its ugly face.......I'm frustrated!!!
