I just got a CA18DET car that needed a fuel pump, intercooler, battery and turbo. The turbo is just blown. I replaced the fuel pump, put in a battery, connected intercooler piping from the throttle body to the turbo elbow and connected the maf/intake to the lower opening on the turbo. When I turn the car on with the maf connected it starts RIGHT UP and Idles fine for 20 or so seconds then dies down. If i start it with the maf unplugged it's a little harder to start because i have to give it some gas but once its on it will idle fine for as long as I want it to. But the usual case is... when I try to drive it and give it gas it just starts cutting out. (obviously because the maf is unplugged). Does anyone have any ideas what it could be. I checked the wiring and it is fine. BTW it's the CA harness to KAE maf on an all stock motor. Any help would be appreciated.
