Help, I killed it!

I was replacing the spark plugs in my Subaru (yeah, I just wanted to do it myself so I could get my fingers dirty).

Lo and behold, I go to start it up and it sounds fine for about 5 seconds, then bogs down and dies.

Now I've replaced plugs on smaller engines quite often and when one of the cylinders is misfiring, it's very obvious. Maybe its' the difference between a car engine and some of the smaller ones I've worked on or maybe even the fuel injection... but I don't know what the problem is.

ack, help!!

Eric

Re: Help, I killed it!

Figured it out. The idle control vaccum hose was disconnected from the primary air intake. Was killing the idle speed to zero. :-P
