96 GST Will not run goog

[ogminks]

Hey guys this is 2nd threads, OK I tell you guys the whole story. I bought this Grey 96 GST for about 800 bucks it didn't run I noticed that the injector clips where missing (cut off) so I had it towed to the dealership to get fix ( They said it needed a electronic sauder) OK i asked them to fix it they quoted 95 bucks all and all i payed 515 bucks (raped) the car still didn't run. they said i needed a new intake manifold for a 96 turbo car and that the one i had on was for a non turbo, OK so i bought one and installed it my self went very well. The car still didn't start. took it to a place called CTR products out of San Jose ca they said it was some sensors that where bad mass airflow and my cat converter was clogged OK fixed it 700 bucks parts and labor. the car still didn't start they said the heads where bad so i took the heads off and had them rebuild 395 bucks (came with a head gasket set) cool OK. installed the heads and a new timing belt. the damn car still didn't start. i noticed that it didn't have a balance shaft or tensioner for timing belt B. so thats where I'm at.
Replaced heads, intake manifold, trottlebody, all upper gaskets both o2 sensors, Cat converter, all 4 injector clips, all 4 spark plugs and wires, mass airflow sensor, and labor and the price of the car 2500 give or take.
So I had a friend check it out and he said someone did a 6bolt engine swap but probly didnt change the ecu and wiring harness. so i checked out vfaq (I think thats the name of the site) and it said that your able to keep the ecu and harness if you change some of the wiring so that it will hook up to the camangle sensor (I THINK THATS RIGHT). So we checked the wiring harness and it has been cut into and spliced near the camangle sensor and the coil wires have been spliced into also???
The car starts and idles ok but when gased to 3000 rpms it spudders or stalls and if it starts to boost (EVEN TO 1 OR 2 lbs of boost) it spudders or stalls. and if i try to drive it after 5 minutes or so it stalls and doesnt start for about 10 minutes. Also if i slam the gas to the floor it just spudders and chokes and doent rise above 3000 rpms but if i rase off the gas little it will go upto 4500 rpms.
PLEASE HELP ME

Hi! I have a 98 GST that I just purchased. I installed a boost/vacuum gage (Mookeeh) and at idel is says I am at 28lbs of vacuum. Is this right? Could it be a different issue with the car or maybe a cheap gauge? Thanks!

I also wonder if the timing belt is off. I have 67k and do not know if it has been replaced but I wiggled it and it feels a little loose or something. Dont know what that means and if that could be effecting the car as well.

Hey evryone,
I just bought a 2g spyder. It is a 97 gs shell with a 6 bolt 4g63 turbo motor. Ok I am having a few problems the person I bought it from said that it needed a turbo and a battery to run. I bought the battery and it starts right up. After I start it up it idles good for a minute or so and then after that it starts to idle eratically, and shuts off. Ican turn it back on right away but the same thing continues to happen. When I press on the gas and put it in gear it does move but will not accelerate past 3,000 rpm's when in neutral or in gear. I have no leaks and only had some white smoke but hardly any after the first or second start up. The BOV is recirculated. For some reason whoever re organized the wiring left a few plugs not plugged in and I can't find where they are supposed to go. That might be the main cause of this problem. I am a newbie and would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this. I will post pictures later Thanks.
