You know I woke up in the middle night and was thinking that popping noise it makes reminds me of when I had those Camaro injectors in there. I drove around quite a bit yesterday I'm wondering if one of those Bosch fuel injectors I got is faulty? I'm going to put a screwdriver on the top of those today and let it run just make sure that those are all pulsing.

I just put it up against the back of the injector and put it up against my ear and just hear if I can hear it pulsing doesn't necessarily mean it's working right but at least I know I have power.also as of this morning I can disconnect the map sensor and it will stay running

Ah.

For the MAP sensor, you unplugged it prior to starting the engine, right?  Any change in how the engine runs?

I still think I hear a vacuum leak but I can't pinpoint it or get it to surge using propane maybe I'm just hearing intake noise I can't be sure

Would you post a video of the engine running, from the engine bay, with the car parked?  You can blip the throttle by hand.

Your uniquely-shaped ignition key looks gold.

I saw that the brake light was on.  Is the e-brake released?

It seems down on power, or the speedo is off.  If I get on mine like that, it will be up to 60MPH.

yeah it is definitely down on power for sure the E brake light is on because the e-brake is disconnected and there's something funky going on with the little sensor by the handle

That sensor sometimes requires a bit of adjustment.
