Um, what?
I *think* you're saying that your car just starts then dies. In that case, did you spill coolant/oil on the plug wires? Or disconnect something (check all plugs in the area)? Perhaps disconnect the AFM for some reason? Need more info. And proper sentence structure, punctuation and some attempt at spelling.

Well, thanks for the answer Aaron. Well sorry for the grammer my hands had grease on them. Anyhow, I did disconnect a a small hose that was connected to the throttle body but i put that back together. Im still not sure what I did I will have to look at everything once more for the 10 time, and then get back to you thanks.
On a series four, N/A, there are two small vacuum lines on the back of the throttle body, in the area you were working in (the heater hose on the bulkhead). Maybe you disconnected them/knocked them off?????
