HELP. swapped jdm single cam into 92 hatch.. step on the gas car dies
has anyone heard of this? i put a jdm single cam in my girlfriends 92 hatch and it starts up and idles about 1500rpm but when you step on the gas the car dies. i think the fit valve may be bad but i dont think that it would cause the car to die when i step on the gas. any help would be much appreciated.

double check on the firing order and the timing like PONTIAC says.

If your timing is correct it is defenatly a fuel problem. I would start with the map sensor. Perhaps you got the map sensor & tps sensor plugs mixed up. Are you getting a check engine light?

yes i am getting a check engine light. i found a vacuum leak yesterday from the throttle body gasket so im going to change that today and see what happens. im not sure but there might have been a leak coming from the fuel rail/ injector area but ill test the vacuum again and see what happens and let you guys know
