I got my SR in and started it up. It started and ran perfect for about 10 seconds and when the idle dropped as it's supposed to it sat for 2 seconds and sputtered until it died. We swapped everything around on the BOV because we were revving it and the BOV wasn't working so we hooked that up to the correct vacuum line under the throttle body and that was working but still kept dying.

We checked every plug and every vacuum line and everything was fine except for 1 plug coming from the ignitor that I had never seen so that's disconnected but everything else is good. I have an S13 full SMIC kit and the wastegate is connected to the nipple on the coldpipe over near the upper coolant hose. Then out of the 4 nipples on the TB the coldpipe is connected to the biggest one for IACV and then of the other 2 medium sized ones 1 is connected to the BOV and the smallest one is capped off along with the extra medium sized one.

To do a little test we disconnected the whole coldpipe from the coupler that connects it to the TB but left it kind of sitting against the coupler, creating a huge vacuum leak. We started it up and it did the same exact thing, it ran for 10 seconds and then died.

Please help, I don't know if it's a wiring problem, if it's the way my vacuum lines are ran, or if it's a fuel problem. Please help I need it running ASAP.

Got a pix?

I have no idea what's going on. Please restate your problem with punctuations.


That problem sounds like a vacuum leak. Brake booster hooked up?

Well I just went out there and checked the whole intake manifold thoroughly and found 1 more nippler under the TB but it's capped off.

One thing, big thing, that I noticed is that I couldn't hear the fuel pump priming. Amidst the sound of my car beeping because it's on the 2nd click in the ignition and using up battery power and the seatbelt sliding back, I never noticed. I got a friend to open the trunk and listen closely and he heard nothing also.

What could be wrong that my car can startup and run for a few seconds and then turn off and at the same time not prime the fuel lines. before cranking?

Here's a video: 100_1832.flv video by bigjacsoc - Photobucket (http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii244/bigjacsoc/?action=view&current=100_1832.flv)

I did a mock setup with my S14 SMIC and piping and BOV to see if it was the S13 SMIC or BOV or something that wasn't tightened and leaking because I couldn't get to it. It did the same exact thing and since everything was in the engine bay I know everything was air tight.
