Title: Engine starts then dies
Post by: czomega77 on July 11, 2015, 03:38:55 PM

I have a indamar stock 454 in my 02 cobra it's ran until today I was heading into the London bridge and it just died.  Now it will stay for a few sec and run and then just die any suggestion I know it is getting gas so I'm lost now

could be a few things but if its starting back up but then dying......im going to lean towards a fuel issue. If it were spark it probably would have died and probably not restarted (unless your coil is getting hot).

I was thinkin that too, I had one go bad and it would only stay running if I held it in the start position.
