its an S4 tii
i just replaced my LIM gasket and o-rings
and a bunch of hoses
and removed the rats nest
now that i put the car back together
it starts up every time
but it dies right away

and i made sure the MAF is plugged in

 

i know what everyones gonna say. CHECK THE AFM via the FSM instruction. theres been like 3 posts about this in the last 2 days.

..now maybe youll get some more constructive answers now that i got that out of the way

 

Vac leak.

even if i keep the gas pedal down it still dies
i cant keep the car running to look for vaccum leaks

 

Well, how does it start?

Winds up to 3000rpm then dies? Or just a fast start ( +/- 1500rpm) and dies. Doesn't even start completly?

 

the fast start, probably around 1000 then dies immediately.
just like this guys car

Mine did exactly that because a coupler for the intercoller piping split.

Check for a big vac leak. Check miticulisly.

 

One of the lines on the back of the TID might be off.

The AFM's plug is not connected?

 

alright i checked the turbo inlet duct.
and theres a hose that goes into it, and i traced it to a hardline
which now goes to nothing.
i think it use to be hooked up to the rats nest but now that its gone its just sitting there.

what should i do with it?
