Hello,

Dumb ass answers aside, you can ask the administrator to revoke "Detailer"'s username on the Brickboard, there is no time or need for stuff like that.

Okay, I would suspect a major air leak somewhere. Check all lines including the ones to the bypass air valve. When it did run, did you notice any large hissing or rattling noises??? Hard to remember I guess with the astounding rush of joy to see the car come to life. You are right the air sensorplate could be stuck down(closed). Pop off the rubber, copius amounts of carb cleaner to be sprayed in, and don't be shy about popping out the disc to clean and align it up. The fuel lines to the injectors would be self-purging of air, although I would be surpirsed if you got any significant amounts of air in there. Not an issue anyways. It would be worth purging each individual fuel line with carb cleaner. Could the timing belt/chain have jumped?

These are my suggestions as I don't have a lot of experience with the PRV V6.

Happy Bricking!!!
