Alright did a Ka24de swap in my 90' Coupe. I can get the car to start but I have to keep hitting the gas. If I hold it at any throttle position it won't stay running I have to constantly hit the pedal. I have the IACV/AAC syestem and PCV System hooked up. I pulle the rest of the vacuum lines out (mainly because I had a vacuum leak.) I have the Fuel pressure regulator vacuum line hooked up the the throttle body. The two vacuum lines on the EGR are capped off. (pipe still hooked to EGR and Exhaust Manifold)

Any ideas why my engine wont stay running?

Seriously if you have a good idea of what it is reply, hell text me! 1(916)202-4790

I've been workin on this swap and getting it running like the passt 4 or 5 weekends. I want to get this thing on the road!

I've read this article, http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=157751, so I doubt I have anymore vacuum issues.

Oh just to make sure, The only vacuum line I have hooked up it to the Fuel pressure regulator, and the IACV/AAC System (the 1/2" pipe that runs to the right of the throttle body) I hooked the IACV/AAC pipe to my intake pipe and the FPR to the throttle body.

I've swapped in a spare MAF no help. 2 ideas The douchebags who pulled my motor cut 3 ground to the engine and I crimped on the eyelets that go to the bolts on the engine. I know crimps are not good for signals but they are just gorunds...could that be a problem?

Also I plugged the 2 vacuum lines on the EGR and left the pipe connected between the egr and exhaust manifold. Was this not correct at all? IS it now constantly dumping exhaust into my intake?
