Just got #14 running but it is far from normal Help please, I have a video link

Hey guys some of you may have saw the first startup vid i just did yesterday and i thought everything was good and dandy maybe just some longer duration cams that were installed by the p.o. but im comming to realize that is not the issue. i recorded it idleing. here is the video click
 

Side note, I put new ngk plugs in with new oem fuel filter with no results. also tryed unplugging the MAF and had no significant results. I just ordered a new adjustable fuel pressure regulator with a gauge on it and im planning on swapping in a different MAF all together to see if i get any progress.

when i try and blip the throttle a bit it just wants to die then when i release the throttle it reacts to it a little bit and moves the rpm up.

To make things easier for everyone i will do in depth videos of the changes/new parts and the difference they make. also if someone has an idea of what the issue is but needs me to do somthing and wants to see it react just say so and ill make a vid.

Thanks guys, happy moding

sounds like boost leak or maf problem. Leaning toward maf. If you where closer I'ld lend you one just to check it. Good luck man.

Timing. It's too "lopey" for me to think vacuum leak. Sounds like it's off in relation to the crank.

When I had my ECU chipped for a GM/1gMaft and went to a 2G Mas it sounded just like this. I thought I had fubar'd my 1by1 ARP stud install but once I changed the chip it ran like a champ.

I'm leaning towards maf issues as well.

Quoting broxma:

I would think this would eliminate the MAF questions myself. The car should be able to run in limp mode if all of the other components are meant to work together, maybe I'm wrong.
