Hello fellow DSM'ers,

So earlier this year I blew a HG and decided that it was a perfect time to actually build my car :) a few of the mods I'm gonna list were on there already, including the Maft.

Anyway, my issue is that I cant keep my car running. It will start for 5-10 seconds and just die and I have no idea what I need to look for...and help would be greatly appreciated! Mods are as follows:

port and polish.
750cc injectors.
GM maf.
MafT.
Unknown turbo (theres litterally no markings on it LOL)
Aftermarket FPR.
External Wastegate.
 
Check cas again. Possible the way the wires are in order and the cas being 180 out is why your getting this issue.

**Sad Sigh** I hope this is the issue and nothing to do with my MafT. I've also heard that plugging your MAF backwards can cause the same issues i'm having as well.

Is there anyway to make putting the CAS back in easier, as in not moving it while putting it back in?
 
Okay so a lil update: had a DSM Guru come down to check my car. He says that I was throwing a code (never seen the CEL come on ever) and it says CAS failure. My question to those that are still here with me on this and to the Wisemen is this: mechanically how can it be a CAS when I can start the car and it runs on its own for a little bit? Wouldn't the CAS prevent me from running at all?
