Help With Engine Problem

[boab type ra]

finished puting a new gearbox in my 94 wrx type ra, took it out a test drive and went ok but when i go over 4500 rpm it stutters and the engine check light is on can anyone help!

check your vac piping and get the ecu read sounds like maf sensor

Sounds weird as you shouldn't have disturbed anything significant changing a box.

I take it it was fine before the box change.

Do a search as iirc there is a way to get the code on classics without a reader by connecting a couple of wires under the dash.

A few things to check include boost hoses, coilpacks and connections.

If your still stuck and i'm free your welcome to bring it round to mine and try my maf etc. to rule stuff out.

By checking for faults have you been connecting the 2 black connectors under the dash then switching the ignition on (dash lights on engine off)?
