stalled out

[slate]

I know there could be a hundred different things wrong here, but I would like to hear what you guys think. I just installed my RevHard kit in my 2000 Si. I primed the turbo for oil, put the plug wires back on and stared it up.

It stared right up and idled for about 4-5 minutes while i checked for leaks. It idled smooth and then just died out smooth. Like it ran out of gas. I went back to find the A/F guage coming back down from a lean reading.

I started it right back up with no problem. The A/F gauge went straight to lean so I shut it off. Made sure my fuel pump was getting power (I could hear it prime itself) and started it up again.

I blipped the throttle slightly and it died right after it got back to idle.

So what have I hooked up wrong or screwed up? I know it might be a needle in a hay stack, but in help would be apreciated.

well my best guess from the symptoms is that your mix is running to lean, you'll need to adjust it, or you may even just have a small clog in your fuel line. best bet is to pull your fuel line from your gas tank to the front, take an air compressor, and flush that thing clean with just air. also check for leaks in the line, and the fuel filter. also check your air filter/s. best bet is just tuning up the mix a little higher, you don't want it too high or you'll just screw your engine, but a little adjustment can save you a lot of trouble. I say this because at startup your engine runs a high mix of gas for the startup sequence revs at about 1300-1500 rpm and then slows down to an idle at 800-1000rpm depending on the load on A/C and alternator... another simple solution is just running a higher octane fuel.. I've seen turbo engine rebuilds run so much better with a higher grade fuel, but around here in the US 102 is the best you can get, wish I was in japan where you can get 104-110 Octane fuel at the pump... here in the US you'll have to order a 50 gal. drum of the stuff, plus shipping charges...
