i just finished putting back together my VG30DE. i replaced the valve cover gaskets, the TB gaskets, the plenum gasket, the idle air hoses, idle air control gasket, balance tube o rings, all 3 drive belts, and the pcv hoses and valves. also some vacuum line(fuel pressure reg and dampner). i also added a pop charger. i have read that the car will run terrible for a minute or so but my car will only stay running when the accelerator is pressed. sometimes, not all the time, i hear a loud escape of air coming from behind the drivers side of the plenum. also throughout the time of me trying to find the leak(about 5 minutes) my car backfired once. what could be causing this leak and could that somehow have led to the engine backfiring? any advice would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to have to tear everything apart again. also i have these connectors that i cant find where they go. i have spend about an hour trying to find where they go. you have to copy and paste the link in your address bar because i couldnt figure out how to post the actual picture. sorry [ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/randylwjr/0331001510.jpg? ] t=1270068331 the yellow and the white off center to the right and and the one looking right at you off center to the left. this is on the drivers side [ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/randylwjr/0331001511.jpg? ] t=1270068451 these two right in the middle, yellow and black. these are on the passenger side. i have all of the coil packs and fuel injectors hooked up and i labeled everything but the labels fell off. it took me 4 weeks to do this. any help would be greatly appreciated thank you very much randy
