Know there is a thread right below this one about the same problem, but different circumstances so I figured I'd open a new thread. Anyways as title states when I give the car gas it dies and pretty fast too. So far ive replaced the MAF,TPS,plugs & plug wires. Besides it dying its running super rich tons of black smoke.

Heres a video of me showing the problem, the MAF was unplugged in here since it was the old one. When i had it plugged in it would die shortly after starting

Lol if you figure it out let me know, btw new plugs will help mask your real problem too

I'm really out of ideas on where to go but I'll just start over looking everything and starting with the basics and check my fuel pump, fpr etc hopefully something will give.

Only thing I can think of is something causing it not to be getting enough gas when you raise the fuel psi...so like the fuel pump or injectors maybe

I might have a old fuel pump from my last s13, but I can hear it prime and it starts and idles for like 2 mins and then dies

Haha I'm checking fuel pressure tonight I got a guage for it and I'm hoping my fuel pump is the problem cause its having more and problems starting up then when I first started having this problem

Vegass13

Haha for you it looks whatever is supposed to keep the idle up (not sure if it's an actual part or the ecu's job) isn't working...my car does the same thing almost but it won't actually die..I have an sr and after accelerating I'll let off and if I don't tap the gas when the rpms are dropping it'll drop down to 500rpms and my lights on the cluster will come on for a split second then the engine kicks the rpms back up to 900
(My issue could just be the bov venting to atmosphere tho)

For the OP def sounds like a fuel pump issue then or you're just running out of gas haha

Drittz

Yeah I definitely have gas haha I made sure of that so I didn't look like a dumbass if I was out of gas. I hear my pump turn on but my guess is its on its way out and barely running

Vegass13

Ya that's what I was thinkin..it was weak before but strong enough to pump gas in to get it running and now it's just dying

Drittz

Well thankfully they aren't too expensive if that's the culprit

Vegass13

You can get a walbro 255 for like $90 so I bet stock one isn't bad

Drittz

I'll probably just go with the isis 255 one since it's a little cheaper and I don't plan on keeping the car much longer

Cars fixed was the fuel pump.
