When I first got my engine running it wouldn't idle by it's self. I'd have to tap the gas a little to keep it running. Yesterday I took out the turbo to fix an exhaust leak and after it was all installed I started it and it would run just as it did for a couple seconds, usually like 3-5, and then die. It sounds like the fuel just cuts off. When it does run it is smooth as ever. Anyone have any idea of what it could be?



Thank you much!

vacuum leaks!

yup. double check all vacuum lines

let me know if you want help, we could probably stop by there and give you a hand.

OK, I checked. I didn't see any. The mass air flow sensor wasn't plugged in but i plugged it in and still the same. It revs up to like 2k for like 3 seconds, everything nice and smooth, on it's own but then after 3 seconds it dies no matter what I do.

How far away do you live?
