Need Help
O.k. heres whats up. I finished the turbo swap, installed everything correctly, all vaccum lines, all plugs, everything. Now heres my problem, after all was completed, the car 84 300zx, would start but NOT stay running (idle). No backfireing, just won't stay running. The only way I can keep this thing running is by holding the rpms above 2k, what could be causeing this to happen, I am useing the turbo ecu, turbo injectors, turbo o2 sensor. Everything was from a turbo 84 same year as mine. Someone please help, before I deceid to push this thing off a cliff.

i suggest you get a haynes manual for this troubleshooting.
i had to reset the tps just recently cuz i put on a 240sx throttle body.
from the haynes manual:
1 loosen the retaining bolts
2 with engine idling at normal temp, confirm engine is in normal idling specifications. if not, correct idle speed.
3 with the tps connector disconnected connect an ohmmeter to the top two terminals.
4 rotate the tps counterclockwise and the meter should show no continuity.
5 rotate the tps clockwise until continuity is established, then tighten the bolts.
6 replace the connector.
before i had to adjust this i noticed my car seemed to run normal with it unplugged.
good luck

yes I did disconnect the bat. as far as the exhaust goes, it is the standard turbo exhaust that I am now useing, so I'm positive that back pressure is not the problem, but thanks for the input, any other thoughts, this thing has got me confussed as hell, I'm about to push it off a cliff, granted if I can find one close enough.
