but it will start back up right away? and then die when it hits 1500rpm?

Ill need more info then you're giving in order to help you out here...

what have you done, what is this car, how does it sound when it dies (running out of fuel, ignition cutting off)

ok, you turbo swapped the car? is that the idea? or just swapped the manifolds?(dunno how thats possible lol)

Well, I would first check ALL the connections to the AFM and verify that its not seized up, stuck in some way, or tipped horribly off level.

After that I would try jumpering the fuel pump test connector (yellow, two prong plug with a rubber boot located near the right {passenger} strut tower) then try to start it.

keep looking it sounds like its the problem.....or at least worth a shot anyways.

But, was this an actual turbo swap?? I don't see a turbo motor listed in you mods, only turbo manifolds and exhaust? along with a turbo computer? Im curious how you managed to fit 4 port manifolds on a 6 port engine.

its basiacally just porting to match the 4port onto the 6 port. I dont know myself but i got the manifolds off of some guys that have done this 6port turbo conversion on the forum.

ok ok ok...not to get TOO far off track here but I really have no idea what you've got on your car, it seems to change a little with each post.

So this is a turbo'd N/A engine?

Which manifold(s) are you using from the turbo car? UIM? or UIM and LIM?

Because comparison of the 6 port block and 4 port LIM would suggest a HUGE vaccum leak is yuor problem. Same with a 4 port UIM to 6 port LIM.

Not to be a dick - I just seriously cannot grasp what the heck you have under yuor hood because Im getting incomplete info.

As I've said to you in many PMs, do you have:

Fuel?
Spark at the right time?

Have you listened to the injectors click during cranking?
Is the AFM plugged in and still good?
Any huge vacuum leaks (TID?)?
