Help, maybe I over did it
OK, I've been collecting parts for a while and finally had some time to install. I put on B&B stainless steel headers, corsa X-pipe, a BBK 80 mm TB and a carbon fiber air bridge. Everything should have been straight forward. I let it warm up to let the computer learn the new TB like the instructions said (yes I read them). Here's the problem, it idles fine, but when I try to drive it dies within 5 feet, like it's been turned off. It's a 6 speed, I can rev it to 6 grand, let it come back to idle no problem. I just can't drive it. Any ideas what I did wrong? No codes either.
TIA,
Mick

I'm sure if you pull the codes from the DIC that will give you a clue. The only component you touched (that we know of) that would remotely cause an issue like this is the new Throttle Body. Swap that back to stock and re-check if all else fails. Could be poor connections / maybe you bumped a connector in another part of the wiring harness.
