Serious help with starting engine needed 700

Hi George,

this is a bit beyond a leak. You basically have one part of the intake system (air box, AMM, turbo), then nothing, then the other part (IC, manifold and engine).

For the computer to be able to guess how much air is being sucked in there should be a connection between the two. You definitely need to get that hose back in place. Getting this to run at all is pure luck. If there's nothing else wrong it'll probably run once that hose is back in place.

You might be able to get it to run (poorly) by disconnecting the AMM - it will then sense that there's no AMM input and go into a "limp home" mode, severely down in power and drivability but at least in a way it'll run.

Bram
