Hello,

So I finished putting my engine back together in my 96 2G and when I went to start the car it idles well but dies after a couple of seconds. It does not turn off immediately, it starts to bog down and shuts off.

I'm trying to upload a video of the issue, but I am having trouble doing so. Will add to post once I figure out how to do it.

I have verified the following:
- TPS at .63v
- no fuel leaks, AFPR set to 43.5 psi
- fresh 93 gas
- Omni4bar enabled under MDP on ECMLink
- Plugs and spark plugs are new (NGK BRP6s gapped to 0.032, NGK wires)

Mods:
- speed density (IAT sensor/ omni4 bar)
- Fuel labs AFPR
- Walbro 255
- big 16g (wastegate pressure)
- FIC 650cc injectors
- Front mount intercooler
- AEM wideband (wired to rear o2 sensor)

You ever get this fixed? I'm having the same problem
My issue is ended up being a cracked cylinder unfortunately that flooded cylinder 1 with coolant. It is not always that extreme though, you should definitely check you basic things first like gas, spark, air. These should be some threads on here you can search that provide a pre start checklist that helps rule out at least the basics.
