Default Need help Fast!!!! E-fan install issues

I just installed my LS1 efans w/a Nelson performance harness. The truck wants to and is dying everytime the fans kick in. What could be wrong? I installed the grounds, pos, #42 pin, and connected it to the green wire in the loom. I don't get it. Please if anyone can share some opinions I would greatly appreciate it. If this don't work I have to install my clutch fan again and its already 8:50pm

Thanks
Nick

disconnect the green wire in the loom and let us know if that solves your problem.

Dark one

well I kinda caught my own mistake with trying to rush with time and only a mag light at my source of light. Everything was hooked up correctly .......but i never put the intake tube back on so the MAF was reading anything thus the engine was choking ou and dying, lol. After I put that on shes's running fine and the fans kick on as they should.

Thanks you guys for responding though, I REALLLLLLLY appreciate it

love it when it's simple mistakes.
I'm in the middle of a cam and head swap myself I bet I'll have something come up too.

haha i just finished doing a head/cam swap on my bros camaro. Everything looked good and when i fired it up it kept on dying and it didn't run right. i could barley pull the car out of the garage without it shutting off. The coil packs ended being up on opposite sides and didn't have a ground on. After that it worked fine.
