I turn the car on and if i rev it, it revs smooth no pops no missfire...but it does not stay on...if i get it to stay on its cool etc. But when i turn it off n sits for a few hours or till the next day, it does it again turns on smooth but dies...

Re: need a tip
How long does the engine run before it dies? I'd monitor the fuel pressure, then check all the basics, just like a tuneup, plus verify the sensors are calibrated correctly.

Re: need a tip
Well it dies as soon as i turn it on but if i give it gas it will stay on of course...but i am going to check out the fuel pressure and the sensors are calibrated...im kinda leaning towards taking it to a tpi tech..we've been pm'img(if that's a word lol) and i think ima go that way im getting tired of the guessing game..
