eta starts then dies

[Mischief3003]

So I decided to clean my icv yesterday and looked over the rubber hoes for any cracks. Afer reinstalling my icv, the car would start, rev to 1300, then die.

I swapped in another icv and both of the reference sensors. The afm is opening, and can hear the fuel pump when it does fire up.

Before this happened, my car was having accelerating problems. if i floored the pedal, the motor studder around 3500-4000 rpm for just a second.

This car is my dd and need it on the road asap.

Any ideas?

Was it working properly before you cleaned your ICV?
I think you have an air leak somewhere. Triple check your install.

[e30:)]

did you unplug your afm and forget to plug it back in?

Check your intake boot. This sounds like what my car did when the boot split... it's hard to see until you move the boot around a bit.

:edit: Also, make sure the ICV hose is fully seated in the intake boot. The car won't idle if the hose is disconnected.

Intake leaks are a possibility, but given the symptoms I'd check the rail fuel pressure first.

The car ran fine before cleaning the icv, except for the random studder when flooring it.

afm is plugged in, Intake boot isn't torn, and the system builds up fuel pressure and i can hear the pump, but i haven't actually trsted the pressure yet.

I'm now leaning towards the ecu, tps, or some sort of vacuum leak. Does anyone know what the ohms rating should be for the TPS?
