    You know what I really hate...

    I don't let them block. Every once in a while, you are out of position to do anything about it. Oh well.

    Still Sputtering

    I think you have an intake leak, and that is fouling the plugs.

    My WOULD START but TURNS OFF IMMEDIATELY

    You may have put the hoses on correctly, but they could also leak. But if you think a 51 or 41 will cause an imediate stall after starting, go for it. Keep in mind, I haven't seen or driven your car. If jetjock thinks it will, then I stand corrected.
