Car wont stay running, help!

[Kapok6]

Alright, I searched under vacuum line threads and couldn't find anything that quite described my situation. Need some help here.


I just got done putting my clutch pedal assembly back in, also relocated the battery to the trunk and eliminated my vacuum lines. I went to start the car and it would idle very roughly then die. Exhaust smelled rich. Vacuum on the gauge never went higher than 10. It's usually at 20. I recheck all the vacuum stuff and make sure everything is capped/blocked off, all the electrical plugs are connected, which they were, tried again, and did the same thing. It is throwing a code but I can't get mmcd to hotsync to my logger so I can't even pull the code.

Any ideas? Everything that I can see has been put back together properly. Any help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Do a boost leak test to be sure about those vacuum leaks

Already did that. Everything was fine. All vaccum ports are capped (except for the FPR which is necessary) and I checked the enging harness and everything is plugged in.

Well, upon further inspection , I came to realize that the cause of all this crap was an error in calculation on my part. Here is the embarassing fact about what happened...when I was drilling a hole through my firewall to run the wire for my battery relocation, I miscalulated where I was drilling and I hit a few wires from the wiring harness, completely severing one, (obviously the white/red one from the ECU to the CAS) which casued all these issues. I spent a majority of sunday upside down under the dash on the passenger side repairing the wires. I am a soldering pro now. So anyway, no need to give me an idiot of the century award as I gave it to myself when I saw what I had done; however if you feel the need to bash me anyway, please feel free to do so. The one good thing I will say about this whole stupid situation is the fact that I learned a great deal about my car and how it works through learning how to elimitae possibilities via deductive reasoning.
