starting then dieing??
my motor was starting and running just fine...until i went to start it today and it starts and dies but if i feather the throttle it will blurp and pop...then die fuel pump sounds as it should
it has gas cause i just put some in it...the only thing that is different is i unhooked the factory gauges which i dont think would affect anything? 99 5.3....

Re: starting then dieing??
Do you have a way of checking fuel pressure?

Re: starting then dieing??
check for vacuum leaks if it can't maintain idle, double check that the MAF is connected and reasonably clean. Both can choke a car out.

Re: starting then dieing??
the plug on the intake manifold, or the blockoff on the exhaust mani?
If its the intake then yes, thats a huge vaccuum leak introducing un-measured air into the manifold. I'm surprised it wouldn't throw a code, but not impossible.

Re: starting then dieing??
plug on the intake manifold...the reason it didnt throw a code is that the egr is programmed out>??

Re: starting then dieing??
Ya, I would assume its acting like a giant vac leak. Even if the egr was programmed out, I would think all the extra air might trip another parameter, but who knows. Plug that up, and see what she does.

Re: starting then dieing??
Some times engine has to be running for a certin amount of time to set a code or the ecm has to be testing for it. I would bet that is the problem but how did it come out?
