hey i've got a 00 a4 1.8 and the other day i failed emissions due to a faulty maf and a bad sap. i ordered a new maf and while taking out the old one i noticed one of the wires for the wiring harness was disconected and the sensor was broken. I picked up a new harness and reatached the wires and the maf and when i started the car the idle was all over the place. it finally evened out so i took it for a drive. now every time i would put the clutch in the idle would completly fall and the car would turn off. I could start it back up after a little hesitation but this also happened if i was accelerating and then let off the gas the idle would completly fall and the car would die. I got it back to my house and re checked the connection to the maf. I thought maybe it wasn't good enought because i had some trouble with the new harness so i attached the wires staight to the pins. i tried it out this way and now the car wont start at all and i've trying putting it back how it was but it wont start.

 

perform throttle body alignment procedures see if that helps

 

i've tried the throttle body alignment and i've been searching through forums for a few days now and i'm still stuck
