I'd be game to help except I'm still not down in tampa yet...

TGV failures have a similar problem but are still driveable
well, i may have over exagerated when i said it does nothing.... its more like it bogs out unless i floor it and release the throttle very quickly then i can keep it running sorta.

im going to take out the CAI and put my old ram intake back in... on that one the MAF can only go one way.. and no jeff, they said that the TGV servo shouldnt have been my problem. ???

When you installed the injectors did you make sure the orings were there and seated well? What he said above too...check your MAF, make sure its not installed backwards. On some intakes thats possible.
where are you from man? i would love to borrow that tool if you wouldnt mind. i made sure the injectors were installed properly but i think im going to go through and double check the o-rings again.

I'm in the St. Pete area, about 25 minutes from the skyway. I may be able to meet you one evening to drop it off if you can meet me halfway (if you want it before Monday). If you want to do that I can meet you any evening after 5:30 or 6:00 on my side of the bridge...your call.

Did you change the spark plugs when you did the install?

Also, when you check the o-rings make sure you have the proper plug on the corresponding injector. I dont know if they can be mismatched but if the connectors are swapped it would cause the injector to fire at the wrong time which could cause the stalling, misfire environment your describing, especially at low RPM's.

how about you give me a call when you get off work tomorrow and i'll pick it up from you? i changed the plugs when the car died after it was tuned.. i dont think the injector plugs are mismatched cuz the vehicle did run well for awhile....
