Did I hurt my engine?
Yesterday I posted a topic about running a MAF calibrated fo 19lb injectors with 30lb installed in the car. I screwed up and forgot to change the MAF's when I put the car back together. I drove it around and it ran like crap and died on me. I went home last night changed the plugs and it still would not start. Did I kill the motor? What should I try next to get it started?

the air/fuel ratio was messed up since you MAF didnt match your injectors. which is why it ran like crap and died on you. get a 30lb injector MAF and you should be good. you changed the spark plugs?

I changed the plugs and put on the right MAF for 30lb injectors and it did not start. Maybe a bad MAF? Or maybe the computer is all messed up from changing the MAF back and forth. It turns over but sounds really slow.

wouldnt it spray less fuel cause its calibrated for 19lb injectors?in caseif that is the problem take the plugs out and let it sit for a while so the gas evaporates. if it happened yesterday it should be evaporated already though but do it anyway. can be a defected maf, but i've started my stang up quick without the maf connected just to make sure my MIL worked but i didnt drive it like that.does it sound like it wants to start or does it crank over and sound like its not firing? always be very careful, dont rush,and double check everything when working on a car. especially a mustang! some of the reasons why im goin carberator lol. i hate diagnostics!
