So a long story short I drove my car to work its a 03 touring with 6 speed, Everything OK. I get off work and it wont Idle. The first time I tried to start it there was a sound like a backfire, but I didn't crank it long enough to start it. Next thing it does is starts revs up to like 3k then slowly dies, if I give it gas it stays running and does fine as long as I give it gas while driving. Hit a light and it dies. No check engine light no codes almost feels like a misfire but not under throttle. I am thinking vacuum leak but to go from hero to zero bugs me. NE ideas? I have a spare 04 quest to perhaps rob coil packs and stuff. Tried putting a new MAF in but problem persisted, I have reset the ecu and tried to do the throttle relearn but its not going to work real well if it cant stay running.

No codes I have a code reader, but I think I may have just found it. It had a TB spacer on it there was one bolt missing and the gasket on the back side is well only about 3/4 there plus the bolts were not even tight. Probably it, I am having trouble believing that it went from hero to zero instantly but that pop was probably the gasket going into the engine, Hope it is okay to bad I traded it from some stupid kit, My SRT4 is probably doomed
