Any advice on a forum article I should go to, or advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, as I originally thought it was a fuel issue. Now I am not sure. Thank you! |

This thread here is a good start. If you can do a complete list of what you've done, specifics about the car, etc...
Are we talking literally one second or? And welcome to 914World - this place will get you set up... |

And welcome to 914World - this place will get you set up... Thank you so much! I have not done anything to the car other than the fuel filter and fuel pump. Bought the car out of Cali, put about 1500 miles on it and this happened... It will stay alive for 2-5 seconds before it dies. It starts relatively easily, just won't stay running. I was thinking about doing the plugs wires and coil, since I don't know their age. Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

I STRONGLY recommend you don't start replacing parts BEFORE you diagnose the problem. That will just muddy the water and potentially make it much more difficult to figure out what is going on. I get the impulse to start doing all the work you had intended to do before this problem happened, but it won't be productive to do it before you figure out what is causing your current problem. Figure out what is defective first, get the car running, and then start on any deferred maintenance. Once you start firing the parts cannon at the problem you are on a very slippery slope.... |
