Thanks for all the great help. The problem is fixed. I sold it to a mechanic, who has been wanting one for a long time. So it has a good home.

Sold!!!
-
It does it when the engine is cold or hot and at any rpm.
-
Car runs great then next time I start it, it runs too rich. Shut it off then restart it runs either better or great. Shut it off and I never know how its going to run next time I turn the key. Fuel pressure rmains the same. Could it be the MAF or injectors? It seems like a switch is being thrown.

I still have the rims but the tires aes shot, $400 extra.

For sale 1986 Conquest TSI Widebody. Copper in color with black leather and 5spd. I have replaced: fuel pump,fuel filters, exhaust manifold gaskets, cv boots(repacked joints), front wheel seals(packed the bearings), plug wires, plugs, belts, and a new Greddy bov all in the last 3 months. I have also installed fuel filter, tie rod end, ball joint, half the fusible links(just looked old), hard pipes, oil sending unit and I forget what else. Looks like the balance shafts have been eliminated along with egr stuff and whatever else that dead weight. A/C and heater works. Has newer style MAF and autometer boost gauge. Comes with the following spare parts: intercooler, rebuildable turbo and misc parts which I have bought on this sight that will not fit an 86. I am selling it because some of the parts that were bought on this sight will not fit this car. I don't mind buying parts if they will work, but no more buying anymore parts from here and hoping I will get the right part and waiting weeks to get the wrong part. The car ran great until the 1st of the year when all of a sudden it started to run for 10 second intervals and die. I think its either the knock box or the MAF. I have a supposedly 86 MAF sensor and an supposedly 86 MAF pigtail to convert it back to original, but of course they do not match so I can't try that out. I paid for a knock box, that I have never received and am still waiting for a refund. So if a person could find the RIGHT parts they would have a great running car. It was my daily driver until this happened and now I have given up on finding the correct parts. It's yours for $1,250. I had some pics and will post as soon as I can find them.

How old is it? Can you post a pic? -
86 Runs for 15 secs then dies, smells rich.

Switched injectors with the spares and would not even start. Checked sparkplugs- black soot all over them. Time to get injectors cleaned or replaced and plugs also. How much for an igniter? -

Is the igniter the same thing as the coil, do you have a part # or picture of it? Also I don't have a sensor in my aftermarket OVCP. Could that be a problem? It ran good without one and I don't see a place to mount one. Is there a way to test the MAP? -

I was thinking the same thing so I changed the values and came up with the same results. Next I used another meter and still got the same reults. Either I am really bad at using these meters or I got bigger problems. Great minds think alike. -

Not yet, I don't have the 86 pigtail yet. Can the MAS quit just like that? If so it sounds like I need to find a pigtail ASAP. Definetly is worth a try. Thanks.
