ok im one ste closer to getting my car running. first here is what i did.... pvc TID, removed all emisions and BAC, reovedall solenoids, TB mod, removed air pump, removed chacoal canister, cone intake, new injecors (w/ resistors) and maybe a few other things. aside fom the intake an full RB exhust te car is stock. i took everything off and when i put the car back together it wouldn't stay running. it wil only start if i floor the gas and it will start rev to 5k (gas pedal still on floor)then cut out like it's ot getting fuel. i tried swapping afm's bt the only one i could get was an n/a one. it worked and may car stayed running if i kept it above 1500 rpm. and it ran rel rough below 2500. coul my only problem be a bad afm or do i hae problems somewhere else. i blocked off baically everything and the only open ports are to the fuel reg and oi injetors. someone please help me as this is my only car right now. if you can cal me 860778-5278 and i'll call you back so you don't have to pay for the call. i really ned my car fixed. and the only place i could have a vacum leak is between the upper and lower manifold which i highly doubt. PLEASE HELP ME. i will pay as much as i can and if your local hook you up at ou shop or with parts

When u replaced the injectors did you forgot to put the injector grommets back in? Sounds like a vacuum leak, use a 1-2 foot long piece of vacuum hose and probe along while a friend keeps the gas pedal pushed down. It will sound like a loud sucking/hissing sound. Recheck all the places that you modifed especially since they all involve part on the intake system.

I personally wouldnt buy a 10th AE that someone has gone ahead and removed all the emissions controls on.
Leave that to the new owner and sell the car as stock, put all that stuff back on that made the car run well.

Don't worry about all the emissions stuff. It cleans up the engine alot. I've got no ACV, EGR, BAC, and air supply valve. Are you sure you capped off all the lines, and have all the correct vac lines going to the right spots? Did you use RTV to seal up all your block off plates? Have you tried using a TII AFM from a car that runs fine? Did your car run fine before you pulled it apart?
