well again another problem, whats going on now is when i try to start the car it doesnt start for the first 5 times i try, then it starts to fire but still doesnt start, then eventually it does start but when i give it gas it immediatly tries to die then after letting it warm up it runs ok. please anyone give me some feedback.
 
Many possibilities. According to your profile, you are running larger than stock injectors, without any way to compensate for them, I would get this fixed first (SAFC, MAFT, DSMLink, etc...). Second I would get an AFPR to make sure your fuel pressure is right. Your 6xxcc injectors won't operate right if your ecu still thinks they are 450cc.
 
correction the in jectors are not in yet i have them and my afpr sitting on the shelf in the garage havn't had the money to get my fuel control. But this just happened out of the blue.
 
Check to make sure you don't have a vacuum line loose somewhere. Also this is a common symptom of a coolant temp. sensor going out. Computer doesn't know how much fuel to add if it isn't working properly. But once it get's to operating temp. works fine.
 
then its the coolant temp sensor because i broke the clip on it the other day. thanks guys
