OMG i am going to torch my TII
ok, so i finish my batch of up grades (FMIC, walbro 225, 720cc inj, rtec7 1.8...). but befor i explain my problems i'll tell you what else is wrong with the car. the grounds on the dash wiring harness arent grounded so the hazzerds are on all the time. The rear veiw mirror cluster thing isnt even on/conected to the car. and i could have a minor UIM to LIM leak. Now here is what happend. i got it started and got going, first gear was ok but it seemed slugish down low, hit second and it stumbles and spits and sputers now this happens though all the other gears. then i go to turn around and it dies even when i try to keep it running by hitting the gas. so i go to start it again and the starts runs to 1k and dies imedatly. and this is were i am now. O and i trailerd it back to the shop and i was taking it off the trailer and the intercooler caught a cross bar on the trailer and broke my cut out bumper support, damn it. so its just been a great night and on top of that i have no idea what could be wrong so i need help ASAP. thank you very much for your help in advance.

Dude, theres your problem.
A stock BOV is no where near a one-way valve...even thought its supposed to be. Lots of people try to home depot it to get the ''pssshhhh'' sound but end up with major vaccum leaks.

Lovin my 7
I think I would start with your UIM or LIM issue, then work on the other things. May be kinda hard to pin things down when you have mulitiple issues. Fix the ones you know about then start from there. This is basic trouble shooting no matter what your working on. Cars, computers anything... That and make sure everything is plugged in correctly.

yeah, i'm not going to beable to work on it till later but i give it a shot, and when i got it started in the shop it wouldnt idle. it would just die, you had to stay in the gas alil to keep it running. if that helps any.
