My car died on me after lossing power. Now it will start run for a min mabey then instently die. After words it will start but die imedetly without even running for a second. I have checked all the sensors and the computer tested the ignition coils repetedly and the ignition control modual. I get spark but it is very week and after attaching a presure gage I am holding fule presure. Plz help I am very frustrated and in need of my car.

Make sure the battery has a full charge, use a digital multimeter across battery posts, everything off, what is the reading? The generic spec is 12.6v for a fully charged battery.
