    ok, guys I got the new coils put in, the fuel pump is good I can hear it work and there is gas in the fuel rail. When i start it up it idles like crap, rpms jump from 0-1. When i disconnect maf its a little better but dies quicker...also i somewhat checked the hoses to the intercooler they seem to be fine.
    and no CEL lights on. Any ideas? thanks

    Vacuum leak.... check all your check valves, hoses, and the, y-jet pump (it provides vacuum for the brake booster and is located on the driver's side back of engine and connects to another check valve) if this seperates you'll also have no brakes. You can try the brakes before the car dies to see if that is the problem as well. Good luck

    Sounds like a weak fuel pump, big vacuum leak, or a boost hose popped off.

    Sounds similar to a problem I had. Does the car run if you just let it idle? I had popped a boost hose and the car would konk out if I gave it a little gas...but was fine at idle.

    Good luck man...
