1993 Nissan 240sx with a s13 blacktop, front mount, hks ssqv bov.

Alright guys, well yesterday my motor overheated slightly at my works parking lot, so I turned it off, and went in, came out and it had a bit trouble starting, would start then die, has to keep it up with the gas. This morning I came out to start my car, first and second time it started then immediately died. Third time I fluttered the gas to keep it up. The motor idled at 600 rpms instead of usually idling at 1200-1500 when warming up. Drove it to class, no over heating or anything, boost felt funny though. I looked around for hoses and things out of place, but didn't see anything unusual. I'm at a state if confusion lol. After a drive I turned it off, then tried to start it and it starts fine, just seems to be after it cools down.

Pressure test your system to look for vacuum leaks.
