I have a 97 gsx that i recently bought. It has a 6 bolt swap, 16g,
apexi N1 3" exhaust, saf-c II, AEM fuel rail, rewired 255 fuel pump, greddy turbo timer, hks air filter

I was recently installing a dejon tool uicp with a greddy type-s BOV and an injen intake. After the change over I started up the car and its idling between 600 and 800 rpms and as soon as i push the gas it sputters and dies. On my safc it looks like the throttle is opening up all the way as soon as i give it a little gas and it looks like it isnt registering any airflow.

I returned the car back to stock and it has the same problem. I am sure everything is hooked up the same again. And I know the MAS is plugged in.

I seriously need some help!

Anyone have a datalogger they could hook me up with to pull some check engine codes so i can try and figure out what is going on?

Running too rich? Massive boost leak?

with the tb and the dejon intake you can look to see in the flange isn't sealing. Since they are so thin if not done properly it can be a very significant leak.

Did the dejon setup come with a bigger throttle-body elbow? If so, make sure you do not have a leak where the new elbow meets the TB.

aka a boost leak. :)

The tps is a good idea. I'll definitely check that tonight. I'm going to devote 100% of my weekend to try and get the car up and running again. I went out and got stuff to do a boost leak check. So we will see what happens. I'm fairly certain it is something with some kind of sensors. maybe the mas... tps... who knows really. The kid who did the 6 bolt swap before I bought it had no idea what he was doing...its like he just made it up as he went along
