S14 running problems?

[GregD]

i have a 96 s14 sr20 vvt put a new intercooler on it as damaged my old one and car wont run right its struggling to start and wont take a rev or stay ticking over when everything is connected up. but if i disconnect the pipe from the inlet to the intercooler it will rev perfect anybody have any ideas on this for me.

I have tried an airflow meter its not that.

Is it an oil cooler you've put on? Could be a kink in it somewhere

Somethings blocked, did ya remove any tape or covers from ic outlets?

Sounds like intercooler is blocked, was it secondhand? Leaves or anything could be in it lol

Jason rang me earlier about this, i said to him see will the car run by bi-passing the intercooler. Remove the intercooler and put a pipe in its place to join the 2 sides of pipes. If it runs fine my guess is the intercooler is either blocked or really restrictive of air
