Default Car Still Stalling when you first start it up.....

I just did the LIM gaskets and the car still bogs down and stalls when you first start it up, this car is going off a bridge soon.... the oil pressure goes right to 0 when my cars RPM'* are bouncing rapidly, its getting pretty ridiculous, anybody have ne ideas now?

if you rev with your hand do you notice any clatter in the lower end AFTER you rev it?

You need a scantool to diagnose this.

There are WAY too many possabilities to what your problem could be that it'* impossible to diagnose over a forum like this. LIke WIll said, the only way you're going to even start to be able and diagnose this is with a scantool to see what the codes are. One that can take real-time data would be even better because you could atleast monitor different systems on the car.

correct, however, the light will flash when it comes on to get the drivers attention under other codes besides multiple misfire.. this may be what he is seeing right before it dies out on him

It might be something obvious. I would carefully inspect the wiring harness that leads to all the injectors and the throttle body to ensure all the connectors are seated properly. I have a feeling that a connector or sensor on the throttle body is causing this.
