Aiite whenever I start my car it dies right after.. i tried starting it in neutral with the gas all the way down and then itll rev to 1500 and die.. when its started it puffs a lil white smoke but it always does for a few seconds when i start it.. im gonna check compression soon, you guys think its a seal?

Generally you want to avoid starting any fuel injected vehicle with the accell all the way down unless you are trying to clear a flooded engine.

I'd check to see if the AFM is going.. Start with the fuel pump jumper, and then pull out the FSm and check per their instructions.

Try starting it with the fuel pump test connection jumpered, once.. For reference: That's the yellow, two prong'd connection that's on the passanger side strut tower, it will be in a black rubber shroud, right around (underneath) the boost sensor. IF you jumper that, and turn the car to "on", you'll hear fuel running through your fuel rails and such, try to start it then.

 

yup, i agree wonko actually today my brother thought it would be funny to unplugg my air flow meter before he left for work, i went to start my car and it went to like 1500 then died, if i gave it full throttle went to 3500 then died.. then i thouht it waz flooded but looked in the bay and found that unplugged, plugged it in, pullee the egi fuse cranked, put the egi back in and it fired rite up and back to itz normal self
