Question 87 turbo

Okay , It sounds to me that you may have a poor connection to your mass airflow meter ,this is an engine management problem . This happened to me when I forgot to reconnect it after removing the intake for another problem , The engine " caught " -then died , absolutely essential for a smooth engine , by reconnecting the wiring the curcuit was complete and the engine was fine .OR! you might have a poor earth connection at your coils PLATE ,( straddles the cam covers ) this needs to be connected to the cylinder head ( NOT the cam covers , they're insulated ). There are times when you can have single , double or multiple problems , I suggest you make a list and go through it until you get it started and running properly .Good Earths ? Good connections ? Fuel ? , Sparks ? good fuses ? good relays ? clean spark plugs ? etc,etc.
