Help!
hey guys, i just got my car back together and now it wont stay running i got the TB mod done, removed teh rats nest, 720cc secondary injectors, rtek 1.7, and put a cone filter on.
the car will start up but dies imediatly. i push the throttle to try and keep it alive and nothing happens, it just continues to die! it kinda sounds like a huge vac. leak to me, but i pulled it apart 3 times this past week and checked over everything! i have an SAFC too, but i disabled it cause i thought that was the problem when it wouldnt start at all(but i just needed plugs lol) i still have it conected in reading TP and RPM though and i get a TP signal so thats good. could there be anything else electronic that would me making it not run?? or do i have to go over everything again and find a vaccum leak??

My first thought is a large leak in the air intake system. I know you say you checked all areas, but make certain all hoses/clamps are tight and connected properly. A "small" vacuum leak will cause a rough idle, but a large air leak will cause a try to start then dye situation. All nipples capped, and no leaks in block off plates?

i didnt take teh lim off. and the gasket for the lim to uim is still there and i used some liquid gasket stuff on there too!
the afm is connected, and i nolonger have the safc hooked to it either so its not that
but i did get a buddy to start it for me while i was standing near the engine bay and i saw some smoke coming up somewhere around the turbo.........idk what thats all about but ill look into it tomorrow when i have some light, but im guessing if i find where its puffing from, ill find the problem!

ok, i am lost here! i know there isnt a leak big enough to cause this! but i reviewed the situation (used myvideo camera lol) and it looks like the smoke is coming from the exhaust manifold............would that cause the car to start but not run??
