Help NEEDED, CAR IS DEAD

[Denash]

Hi Guys, Im Deen
I just bought a MKIII without an engine and started sorting it out
I just finished with every thing and on the first try of cranking her she starts(fantastic) but she doesnt idle nor accelerate,then she cuts out and refuses to start
after checking everything I loosen the fuel line and then crank her then she startes, I had to do this several times to get her to start on her own.

My problem is she is dead totally.
Where can I start checking.
I checked the vacume pipes against a diagram on the website but there are still somethings not clear
can someone help me Please?

try checking your codes first. and what do you mean by loosening the fuel line?

Idle problem usually is a sign of either boost leak, a improperly adjusted tb, or bad timing.

is it a turbo or non turbo?

if it's dead totally maybe it's a battery/electrical problem now (?)

Sounds like the AFM (Air Flow Meter) isn't plugged in...

Maybe the alarm thing? find that thread and see if it helps..

nah if you do that the car will idle (horribly), just if you give it gas it'll die out
