I removed the rats nest, following the guide from mazspeed to the tee. I double checked everything. When i start the car unless i pump the gas it wont start, i have to push the peddle all the way to get it to rev up, when i let off the gas it INSTANTLY dies and barely can get it to start back. What could i have done?? I have to move tommrow to a new town here and now i have no way to drive! i have a 1985 GS.

Thanks in advance!!

 

I just tried running it agin and it barely run, and when i give it gas it spudders and chokes up and right when i let off the throttle it dies instantly

 

Sounds like a huge vacuum leak. You musta left something disconnected. Where in O-town are ya?

 

im in longwood

 

now the headers get RED hot if i leave the throttle open at 4000 rpm, and its spud spud spud spudering aweful, let off the gas it DIES instantly still. ive checked everything, im flippin out.

 

1. Headers red hot means you are running too lean. Bad for exhaust and super bad for engine.

2. Still sounds like a huge vacuum leak. Are you sure you hooked up and capped off everything properly?

Some advice, as I had the same problem, take your time and look at everything carefully.

 

fixed, it was the homemade plate for the air intake side. PHEWWW, glad it only got hot for a few secs. my baby, but damn these cars can be a pain.

 

Glad you got it fixed! THe huge vacuum leak made it run lean, causing the high exh temps and red glowing headers. Actually extended hi rpm operation will make them glow anyway most times. My racecar headers are cherry red after a session.
