car wont stay running!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!

I once switched the sensors at the back of the head by acciden, and it did about the same thing you describe.. start very poorly, and dies almost immediately.

i have the one at the front of the motor unplugged and as for the one by the cold start injector switch, I dont know I dont know exactly which one that is unless i saw a pic maybe.

which sensors are you talking about? cause it dosent run poorly it sounds perfect it just cuts off right away like the injectors are not giving fuel

Don't waste your time chasing ghosts dude !!! Check the basics first.

Have you tested for power at the injectors ?? If you haven't got 12v
at the injectors then it's never going to run. Turn the key ON, pull one
of the injector plugs off, and using your multimeter (or a test light),
check to see if you have 12v between one of the pins and ground.

yes i have voltage at the injectors, its like im losing spark or fuel after start up

I was talking about the sensors on the water outlet on the back of the cylinder head (facing the firewall). It's an easy mistake to make, but it wont run if you get them mixed up. It's the 2 sensors that are connected with injector style (bosch) connectors (blue and brown I think they where).

[jondee86]

Check the plugs and wiring from the distributor. If the ECU doesn't get
a confirmation of engine running signal from the distributor, it will shut
the fuel off.

those connectors are on the front of my car, why i dont know. but they are correct, when i have the tuning computer unhooked it will stay running when i give it gas, just really crappy. than when its plugged in it will cut off if i give it gas so i think its in the computer.
