I got a question. I just got back off a 6 month deployment from South America and i got in my car to start it and it wont stay started. My wife said that she started it every other day when i was gone and it didnt start acting up untill like a month from me gettin back. The car doesnt have a problem trying to start it just seems like it doesnt want to stay started. I just changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, IAC valve, and the fuel pressure regulator valve. Sometimes the car will crank but then it seems like it doesnt have any gas... and yes it does have gas in it. I drained the tank when i changed the fuel pump and filter. Also i can kind of pump the gas pedal and it tries to crank and it might idel for a few seconds and then tries to shut of. I have done everthing that I know to do. If anyone out there has had a problem like this please help. THANKS

sounds like an issue with ur m.a.f sensor or the intake itself , check for leaks and possible into another maf

I had a problem like this once and it turned out to be water in the gas. I noticed the fuel did not have a strong odor to it. Worth a look

You have any idea what the fuel pressure is when it dies? Also, have you tried adjusting the idle screw??? Hear vacuum leaks anywhere???

yeah i know its not water in the tank because i drained my tank and cleaned it out with i changed the fuel pump. and i havent looked at the fuel pressure when it dies. mostly everyone is sayin the Mass Air Flow Sensor and people say that having just one sensor out can make the car mess up bad. i think that i will change the Mass Air Flow sensor and see what it does from there.
