I just did TB bypass and my car starts but then dies. I put everything back to stock and it does the same thing starts up and doesnt hold RPMs and dies. Please help me asap

 

did you SPILL coolant on ur OPTI? when doing this..cause if you get any type of drop oif liquid in that thing, it could seap in and kill it...thats why you go get a DYNASPARK afterwards
i got mine in and it works awsome....but yea you prob spilt coolant when taking off your hoses, you should have put a towl abover the opti or below the tubes...
so let us know if you saw n e coolant spill out!!

no none spillt out I put a towel underneath.

 

hm.....are you sure you hooked the tubes up right?

 

this has all happened in a matter of 25 minutes or so

 

sooo, it happen after youdid the TB bypass?

 

yeah i checked that

 

how many miles are on the car? also if you have never changed your opti..that could be oine reason, but it can be several..and can you explain more details on what your car is doing!!!

 

Well this is what exactly happened I was getting ready to do the bypass I got the intake tube off and was getting ready to remove the coolant hoses and then work called me in. So i stopped short of fully removing any hoses. I put it all back together and then nothing.

 

the car has 50,xxx miles it runs fine everyday was running fine earlier today the car just starts for maybe 4 seconds then the RPMS drop and it dies.

 

so you put it back together correctly, then started to die on ya, when started?

 

thats correct

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm......my car use to do that, i would start it then run for about 2-4 sec then die on me...found out later it had something to do in the ignition...forgot what it was called but it was like 30-50 bux..replaced it and BOOM had no problems starting...im thinking it was the ignition cyclinder something...but its what starts you car and reads the key and stuff, sits above your steering colum about halfway down...

 

well awit for some other people's opinions, i have to run, goign to take out my engine in my other car...good luck man..
