Engine Stalling, Need Help Please...
Thanks for looking in advanced : )
Ok, my car has issues, ill start by listing all that i can think of... Oh and by the way my car has a 305 TPI that is bone stock besides a new Harmonic Dampener and it has 66k or 106k miles? I don't know exactly but the car's digital dash says 22k miles and 106k kilometers?? Don't know what that is about.
My thoughts to why it doesn't run are one of the following:
Thanks again
Oh and I'm replacing the stock "woofers" in the sails, any recommendations of how i can get oem or something the same after market?
I did find these http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail....rs&model=PLG54 but i don't know if they will work.

- The car turns over but dies immediately, it attempts to fire up but doesn't idle unless i have my foot on the gas a little.
- I have an exhaust leak where the manifold meets the y pipe on the passenger side. (both of the studs are broken but in the next month its going to the shop)
- There is a jumper or resistor on the plug to the ac pump, don't have a clue why. (any info on this is helpful)
- The last I checked (last night) there were no codes being thrown, but I checked a while ago and there was 12, and 33.
- There is a slight miss when idling, and the first time I drove the car there was a very strong smell of gas near the driver wheel well but no sign of seepage.
- The Check Engine light doesn't come on. (I did unplug the MAF and then it came on, duh*)
- I stupidly screwed with the TPS and now it needs to be adjusted.
- The car gets hot (220 if I forget to turn on the pusher fan)
- The heater doesn't work.
My thoughts to why it doesn't run are one of the following:
- O2 Sensor
- Bad ECM
- TPS un-tuned
- Clogged injector
- IAC
- MAF
Thanks again

It doesn't matter if it's a t/a or a camaro. That's still acceptable temp unless you're going over that. If you're running a toggle switch then it shouldn't stay that high unless you toggle it off when the temp drops and back on when it gets higher. If it stays there with the switch on, which was my assumption, then you should look into the thermostat. With the fan on all the time it should run cooler than that.

Ok, my friend came over and we temporarily swapped MAF's. To no avail, his car ran fine while mine still took a crap. We are going to keep doing this till we resolve the issue.
By the way, we "Hollowed" the CAT, not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Oh and we checked the plugs and its burning VERY rich (could smell/ see the gas and carbon buildup).

No, not yet... Haven't had time or money. But I think it might be my computer (ECM) because I can't pull codes with a paper clip. It does nothing.`
oh and also the fuel pressure was right (~42 psi) but they Jerry rigged the fuel pump relay to where the pump was constantly on... now that i think about it, its probably because the pressure kept falling... ill check for leaks and update.
