I dunno, a video is possible. I tried to search for this, because I have heard about this sort of problem before, but so far, I can not find anything....

The car feels like it just shuts off after it reaches operating temperature on the water temp gauge. When I tried to restart it, it started fine, but would not stay running. When I tried to rev the car, it would still hesitate and try to cut out, but then rev all of a sudden. When I did it this time, it popped really loud... I dont think it's an apex seal but I will check compression again soon.

Car starts fine
Runs when cold, but has the 2000rpm idle. I had a problem with the car surging before it took out the old engine, but it does not surge now, idles alright...
shuts off when hot...

wtf?
