well that crank sensor was a pain in the *** to switch out, even worse it still hasnt fixed my problem starts and runs for about 5 seconds and then dies. Now i have no idea what to do have ran the scanner again and its not reading any codes from the computer. does anybody have any other ideas to what it is. Im about worn out on this thing.
Just because you can hear the fuel pump running does not mean it is providing the correct amount of pressure. You should check it with a gauge. Also maybe the ASD relay is worth replacing.
I have replaced both of the ones on the throttle body, and no it will not stay running. It just dies out, runs the same amount of time wheater you let it idle or try to keep it running. The fuel rails are keeping pressure. And I would think if it were the distributor that it would back fire or something, motor runs fine untill it dies 5 seconds later.
How do you know you have the right amount of pressure? And how do you know that when it dies it has the right amount of pressure? Check it the right way and eliminate it from the fray.
