Default Cobra won't start!!

I just pulled transmission and replaced throwout bearing and also replaced all bushings and struts/shocks and rear sway bar... At the current moment I still have it on jack stands and tires not mounted... I attempted to start it and it fired up like normal but than dies out in couple of seconds. Does anyone think that it's because it's still on Jacks that something is causing this or what?

It only started the one time now it just Cranks and acts like it wants to start but won't.

I've started my car plenty of times on jack stands! Sounds like a spark or fuel issue.....perhaps reload your tune?!

Does the fuel pump sound like it primes before you start the car (i mean before fully turning the key past ON)? Seems like you had gas in the fuel line that let it start and run for a bit but won't restart and stay running.

Problem fixed... It turned out that I must have hit the fuel pump pressure switch in truck when removing trunk liners to replace rear shocks. After I pushed that button again it gave it fuel back and fired up. Thank God lol thanks for the responses and glad to be a member now!!
