The car will start up but stall immediately it will not hold an idle unless I put my foot down on the accelerator and hold revs, unsure why this has happened the car has been sitting there for a few months and the only thing that has been changed is the coil pack harness, I have tried to put the old one back in but still the same problem?

Just checked the vac hoses they are all good there are a few wires that have been hacked up by the previous owner if you know what any of them are maybe I pulled one out without taking notice?

That could easily be your TPS (Throttle position sensor) wiring. 

You've got the exact same symptoms as my 34, however I had changed the fuel pump a week or so before, and so when I was troubleshooting, the fuel pump didn't even cross my mind. Ended up being the main hose connected to the top of the fuel pump literally had a hole in it, so all the pressure was gone, as I had done a dodgey DIY job with a hose clamp, had to pull it back out, re- clamp the hose so it was a solid connection, been in for over a year now and hasn't skipped a beat.

If you've done anything fuel related, look at that shit hey. 

(Also, that plug at the bottom of that pic looks to be the main harness plug I'm guessing, looks same as mine. Maybe check the polarity of your TPS, and even check the polarity of each cable there in that pic, make sure connection is solid all way through each end of those cables.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
