    My 325 doesn't stay running.

    Alright, so the car has been sitting for about a year, the differential is shot and I didn't have any money to put into the car. I have about $700 spare right now so I was going to fix it up. I added some new gas and gave the battery a jump and it started right up, only problem is that as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator the engine conks out. I took a video (it isn't high quality) and if any of you have any ideas of what it might be or any suggestions that might help me out, let me know. My thoughts are Fuel Pump, Ignition Coil or TPS but I don't particularily want to spend money to get it diagnosed or spend money replacing what I don't have to. Fuel Pump is my my leading hunch. But let me know what you guys think - Is there anyway to check these things and narrow it down?


    Here is the video:



    If the video doesn't work here is a link to it: http://s1094.photobucket.com/albums/...t=IMG_0811.mp4

    Thanks for any help.

    intake leak. take the rubber intake boot connecting the airbox and the throttle body off and give it a full visual inspection.'

    unplug the afm and see if it idles.

    car starts up to quickly for a bad fuel pump.

    where in md are you?

      You don't think it has anything to do with TPS or ICV or Ignition Coil/Spark Plugs? That is what a lot of people have been telling me to change.

      After I posted this, I found a crack in the intake boot, do you think that is the only problem?

        could be ICV. but i doubt it unless its an automatic.

        go outside (right now!) and unplug the AFM and start it and see if it runs.

        try unplugging the ICV. try unplugging both.
