Car Starts And Dies!
Please help me guys,
A friend and myself just finished changing fuel lines and cleaning the injectors on his N/A and now the car starts,revs up and dies within 3 seconds. We're also getting a high fuel smell and the pulsation dampener appears to leak when we try to start the car.... but i held the screw down with something and the car still doesnt run, any ideas and all ideas are appreciated... also we dont yet have a new manifold gasket in place, might that be the culprit? thanks

Check the air flow meter, and also check for vacuum leaks. But, before you even bother starting it, replace/remove that PD before the thing burns to the ground.

thanks for the quick replies... keep em comin... wait so a slight leak at the injector o-rings would cause such a large vacuum issue? how much are the rings from the dealer or/and where else might i obtain them for a good price, and also where do you guys recommend i get the PD?
to rule things out.. the fuel lines are NOT crossed.
possibilities... my friend leveled with me that he got a little violent with the air meter connector and ripped the connectors off the board inside, then "repaired" it... please dont immediately assume its this but just let me know if i would be better off finding him a new AM.
