    My car starts up, but dies right after. When it starts, it idled rough as hell and dies rough. & in the short couple seconds it idles, it makes an odd howling noise. This happenned after I took the blower off to block the coolant passages, and block off the sensor on the back of my gen V with an egr blockoff plate. I noticed my car gas sucked some coolant into the intake. I figured it might be hydrolocking, so I pulled the plugs, turned the engine over, and shot out the moisture from the plug ports, installed new spark plugs... Still nothing. I even started the car with the supercharger belt off... Same thing. Even the weird howl.I took the blower off 2 more times to make sure there was no vacuum leak at the gasket... Nothing. Could the howling be from the belt rubbing over a seized pulley? I've got good fuel pressure, no major vacuum leaks. Now I'm just stomped

    Make sure the block off plate for the LIM is on good. When I did my LIM I wasn't payin attention and I crushed the tube and made a huge vac leak. It would start and run like crap and die like 3 second later. Your situation my be similar but with the block off plate instead of the tube....either would make a vac leak
