engine dies
Does anyone have any ideas on why my motor dies after starting ! I dropped in a 92 de in my 92 ser that had a det in it and the engine harness was altered with the maf plug being changed , i swapped the de plug back on and using the stock maf and a 92 5speed G20 ecu and it cranks and runs with the help of me giving it gas ! All sensors are the same and everything plugs up ! Any ideas ?

So a vaccum leak will cause it not to idle ? The motor i have the previous owner has taken all egr off the motor so its possible ! Going to check now , thanks

no surging , it shut down as soon as let off the gas , i can hold it a rpm but as i let off the gas it dies
