Ok so lets see

When I start the car it just turns right off unless I hold down the gas
When holding down the gas if I let off it bogs and shakes then dies

After keeping the rpms up long enough to get the car warm it will rough idle and rev high back an fourth with 2 sec intervals

Once I take the car around the block and its at running temp it idles like a champ

I have checked the gauge cluster the temp was stuck at half till I took it out and it fell off no more temp gauge...

The ecu is p06 auto to manual swap

I also have a p05 manual that I have swapped out and had the same issue

I have replaced 2 sensors that are in the head under the dizzy checked the thermostat its fine...

ok so car starts and idles now... i got it figured out around 9pm and i get up at 4am to go to work so i didn't try and drive it besides that its not registered and has no plates so i may be able to go around the block but not much further

there is still water in my oil im praying it was just leftover that needed the car to be ran to filter out

im going to replace the oil and hope it gets rid of it

but i need to replace my temp gauge or just the whole cluster i dont want the car to overheat and not know till it does damage
