Starts then dies!!!

[mk3dude]

Cps is set according to spec and cams as well as crank is set at 0 and diagnostic has been jumped as well but it wont stay started. any advice???

Are you sure the CPS is set correctly? If you have it set correctly, when you put it back in the teeth grab and turn it so it's off by a bit. Easiest way to do it I found was with the cover off and turned back just a bit that way when it did go in, it was set where it was supposed to be.

That and make sure the the notch on the crank is at 0 and both cam gears are aligned with the notches on the back cam cover. I had the same problem when mine wouldn't start and this is how I did it.

Yeah Everything is on properly. i have the dust cover off as well so i can see how it is aligned but it still seems to keep happening. it just starts and then dies rite away. i have no idea what i mite be doing wrong??

It just never ends...

:rofl:

Yes, Drifter, he got it running.
Then he went to the polls, and voted for Obama.
Later, he met a nice girl, settled down, and started a family.
Then he got a promotion, and he, his new wife and two kids moved out of that apartment, and got a beautiful
little house in a great school district, and walking distance to a starbucks...
Then ANOTHER two years passed, and here we are...

At least that's how I imagine it went.
I could be wrong.
BUT- if mk3dude is STILL to this day, staring down at his broken motor, scratching his head and wondering why his car won't stay running...well, I think he needs to cut back on the antifreeze in his lemonade...
