interesting problem...

this problem started after I put headers on the car, here goes...
The car is in an underground storage garage, put headers on, checked all connections/sensors. Now the car wont run. It fires, runs for 3 seconds, then shuts off.....now the car needs to be pulled up and out of the building driveway. No codes showed up, everything ignites....it just wont stay running. Could it be fuel or air delivery on the TPI?? What should I do?
Thanks, Ben

Hook the oil pressure sending unit back up.

I never did unhook the sending unit while doing the manifold to header change. Could it maybe have come loose and caused the motor to shut down after ignition. I am definitely going to check on that-
Thanks, Ben
