So I have a 90 miata which ran fantastically. I installed my turbo throughout the past week. I have t3 turbo with manifold, 2.5 in downpipe, intercooler, fuel regulator. everything else is stock. Ive doulbe, triple, and quadrouple checked each fitting and hose and everything seems to be in place. When I turn it over, the motor will start rev up to the usuall 1,800 rpm or so then Die. It feels as if the motor is being flooded, but ive even pulled the regulator off and tried starting with stock fuel pressure, same thing. When I pulled the plugs the where soaked in gas.
Whats the deal?
Thanks,
Chris

If you removed the screws on the connector to the AFM, you may have broken one of the very delicate connections inside.
To bypass this switch, jump FP to GND in the diagnostic connector and see if it keeps running. This will tell you if the AFM is screwed.
There is a switch in the AFM that cuts the fuel pump.

acutally, if you have the F/P jumped, you can idle the car without the AFM, you just can't hit the gas. My bet is bad AFM or leak between the AFM and turbo.
wow, who's car is that one?! badass.
