    So i've just had my CA18DET fully rebuilt, first of all it was flooding cylinder 1 with tons of fuel, and only cylinder 1. Changed fuel injector and it started spraying evenly across all 4 again, great! turned it over to fire up, idles lumpy but doesn't die. As soon as i touch the throttle it dies instantly. Tried adjusting the timing/cas whilst it was idling but didn't seem to help. Ive never seen a car literally konk out as soon as the throttle is touched...

    I know this isn't much info, but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

    help me :(

    Try unplugging the AFM and running with it disconnected

    All vaccuum lines on the inlet manifold connected properly?
