Default b16a2 wont stay running...

Decided to seafoam my motor via brake booster, car stalled. Let it sit for a few minutes, started and it just spits and spudders and dies. Let it sit some more and same thing. Cleaned the IACV, put it back in, started right up, idled fine for about 45 seconds, died. Pulled the plugs and cleaned them and looked down in the cylinders and cylinder 4 looked bone dry. I noticed I have a dry rotted oring on that injector, but was not leaking and running fine, so kept rockin the injectors... It seems like if I let it sit for several minutes it will start fine and run fine for about a minute... any suggestions? map sensor maybe?

Cels? How much did you use? YOu are supposed to third it. Brake booster, gas tank and in the crankcase.

You've heard the saying "If it aint broke..."? Get a replacement bulb and see what codes you're throwing.

I had no gas in it... lmao. I just bought an obd2 scanner and replacement bulbs for my cel... oh well. I guess an obd2 scanner is a good thing to have around. I just got this car, and obviously the gas guage is slightly off...

I already scanned them. it was rear o2, iacv, and multiple misfire...
iacv was cleaned and code went away, multiple misfire code was from running out of gas, which is also gone. All that is left is the rear o2, which i could care less about...
