I just put a spare motor in my car the other day and swapped fuels rails in the process. I've been driving the car with 2 problems

1st....The cars tries to stall everytime i press the clutch but i won't completely die.

2nd....When i try to boost, i get to 3800rpms and my shit starts to boost and then bucks, and backfires bad.

I Have no leaks from the i/c plumbing but i looked at my lower injector seals today and they were dry-rotted and cracked and some were half way in the holes and some were barely in. Now i know that has to be a definite leak but would a leak from the seals cause the car to buck like that?

Thanks for some help.
 
Yep. I've had a leak on my fuel rail like you (I was missing the top o-rings) and my engine wouldn't even idle. Just replace them from Mitsu. Or go to home depot's plumbing section.
