dont spray any fuel starter into your mani, then your car will be dependant on that stuff. Double and tripe check all your wires remember first color is the color of the wire, second color is the tracer (line), example: R/Y Red wire with yellow tracer. And make sure all your diagrams are correct.

Hey my car is doing the same exact thing. Give it gas, it bogs out. It starts up, but usually cuts immediately. I don't believe I'm having a wiring issue though. It was working fine before, then just stopped running all the sudden. Increasing injector cycle(E-Manage), then keeping it revved at high rpm for a little while will get it idling. It still bogs at certain rpms when reving. Once I get it warmed-up after this, I can return injector cycle to stock and it'll idle. It starts up kind of lean like something is adjusting the amount of fuel and then will barely start up to idle. Any ideas?
