my b18b1 wont stay running, i put the timing belt on it yesterday go to crank it for the first time and it cranks, (getting spark and fuel) rpms go to 2k then it shuts off. its nuts. i had a beemer i bought for $120 that did this, i never figured it out.

okay so lemme start by asking what is the sensor on top of the manifold? not the tps on the throttle body and not the map sensor!! its got a nipple for a vacuum line, but no line going into it, i wonder if this is why she wont stay running.





so is this where that line needs to go?

could it be a bad map sensor?

any other ideas would be appreciated.

also wen it cranks for those five seconds i can rev it a little.

could it still be a tooth off? the crank was lined up perfect as well as the exhaust cam, the intake cam wanted to shift a bit, i lined the camshaft holes up with some screwdrivers but the intake cam had a tiny bit of play so i held it with a twelve wrench and the belt just slipped right on. so this is why i think my timing is pretty much set on, i looked at it again and the two divits in the cam gear line up right below the notch on the plastic at TDC.

SORRY FOR THE BOOK
