Greeners just got me thinking...
When I put the red tourer back together after swapping engines it started on the first turn and seemed to tick over fine. When I tried to move it off it went for about 10 feet and then started to splutter and die as if it had lost fuel.
After that it started again but only ran for a few seconds before cutting out. It did this for a while as I searched through the engine to see if I had missed a hose. Eventually I unplugged the maf and it ran fine. I think the donor engine had been run with a synergy and pburg maf and the owner had put the old maf back on after the crash (it had air intake mod so likely owner was in the know about such things)
The moral of this story is a really knackered maf, or something else in the breathing system, can cause this sort of symptom.
