engine turns over but wont start

[truckarms]

Hi guys,
Well the wife was going to americafor a week and I hd a bit of spare cash sodecided to see what the k&n filter kits were like.
The wife brought it back and I went about installing it.
The only mistake I did during the installation was to try and unscrew the mass air sensor i tried to pull out the sensors then realisedwhat i wasdoing and put them back. I got confusd between undoing the clips and unscrewing it. I was stupid anyway, I have finished installing the kit and when I go to start the beast it turns over but wont start.
I took the mass air sensor clip off and it will start but then just dies. If I try to accelerate it makes a really funny noise then dies.
I think I have managed to break the sensor, does this sound about right? If so are they expensive and where do I get new one from?
Any other ideas would be great.
Thanks
Chris

Sounds like it, Give Rusty a PM or mail, he replaced his awhile back, see where he got one from.

cheers guys but I did some searching on the america forumand found this link
this saved me a lot of shame.
The wife went mental, and the joke was on me. I tried to make it faster and made it stop moving!!!!

Now to explain the problem and to put out a very big warning message to any one thinking of doing any work on thier air flow!!!
When you undo the screws on the mass air flow sensor you break these really thin bits of solder (thinner than a thread) so the solution!
Screw it all back together and then remove the silicon from the lid of the thing.
Then remove thelid and very very carefully solder it back up.
Check it works and the replace the lid and silicon it back up.

So a very big thank you to yotatech, they saved me a fortune and to copy morr "thats why there is a search button"
