yeah, lol, AFM plugged in, checked all VAC lines, i am thinking that maybe the primaries arent firing or something, they may be leaking enough fuel to start the car, but wont fire when i press the gas.

Have you actually checked the plug? Pulled it out then put it back in?
If you suspect the primaries are not firing, listen to them with a stethescope while someone cranks the car. You should hear them clicking. But since it does fire up, they are probably fine.

holy crap i think i figured it out. the plug in the back of my e-manage wasnt pushed in all the way, basically this means the air flow meter line was just cut in half, this would definitly give you a shitty, to no, idle. now im curious, would this dump TONS or NO fuel?

There's a lot of noobs in need of smacking.
Your best bet right now is to leave the ECU setup as stock (IE, rewire everything back the way it should be), then to diagnose everything at the ECU (voltages/resistance/etc), and make sure that's all working 100%, THEN, go around and double check for vac leaks/misrouted things/etc, once it's actually running like that, then install the e-manage when you have the ability to adjust it.

Troubleshooting = teh easy
Problem is, people don't seem to use logic when it comes to doing it! The only reason I suggest bypassing the emanage for now, is that you don't have any idea how it's going to react or change things, so you can at least get the car idling and verifying there's no leaks/etc, then play with the emanage.

Trouble shooting = Teh weird.
Hes runnign a custom turbo setup and you would like him to try and run the car without his standalone? Not knocking you Sonic, just saying that the idea of letting the stock ecu have its way with a system that it will not recocgnize is odd to say the least, though I doubt not your skills as a rotorhead.

Well, my point is that he can diagnose his idle/starting/verify everything is good before he dives into the emanage, which he has no control over at the moment, so who knows what it's doing. I DEFINATLY don't suggest he run with the thing anywhere, *ESPECIALLY* since he's got 460's in his secondaries! Just a way to verify that it'll run, everything's sealed and good, and then he can go back to the emanage once he can see what that's doing to the mix.

yeah im working on getting my 720's to work, but now that i recall, the e-manage was still probably sending the 720's a retarded signal amking the car flood to hell when the e-manage wasn't plugged in right.
