please help ive got a sr20det notch top and it wont crank over after a head gasket was replaced...it has fuel, sparks,and air and will crank and idles at full throttle at very low rpm then when i release it it dies...checked everything like 20 times and its getting everything...timing is right, the cas is lined up, getting spark from the plugs, fuel lines are not crossed, fuel injectors are firing, but still no crank except for when full open throttle...i tried searching and still no luck...PLEASE HELP if u can..thanks

i was thinking that it can be the MAF, but i have no other maf to test it out with, own couple of fwd det, and when the maf is bad it usually start up fine and quickly idles down and cut out.

u can just try to unplug the wire from the maf ..if the idle become smoother than that for sure its the maf or could be the ground ..that happen to me before after i replaced the IACV

So I use a p10 maf and still the car don't wanna stay on, if I hold the gas pedel down it will stay on at 250 rpm, that's rite 250 rpm.. There's no check engine light and the ecu doesnt have a diagnostic light for me to figure
Out if it's in limp mode... I thought it can be the safc2, but that wasent it either.. So I'm running out of ideas..

Huge boost leak? Loose intercooler coupler? Leaky o-ring on fuel injector?

Have you checked compression?

All the intercooler couplings are still intact, I pull off the injectors and all the I rings are still good, no rips at all... And still I'm sump....

Update: so after checking all the work and reading on other forms: I completely took of the iacv and ran the car, it stays on idling at 500 rpm but no throttle response. So I'm thinking that it can be the iacv but they go for $300. And i don't want replace it with the new one and it doesnt work. So any one encouter this before? I clean the iacv ran the car with it off, and still it's the same..
