If you have good spark, good fuel pressure. You should check timing and check to make sure engine compression is good, and check to make sure the fuel injectors are getting power.

If it is stalling within 30 seconds, either you are losing spark or fuel pressure.

When checking fuel pressure it stayed at 42psi an I also tried a new fuel pump because I thought that was the problem at first which wasn't I then got a obo2 to check for codes an I got a p0121b which is tps an a p0335 which is crankshaft sensor also the oboe said ignition coil modular 24x red circuit too many pulses I change crankshaft sensor an tps an cleared codes an all that comes back is ignition coil modular 24x red circuit too many pulses I truer a new ignition modular an coils an still no change also had my ignyion muddle tested an it passed as good so basically waisted my money on coils an module so do u got n e ideal what my car needs done about only thing I haven't checked is timing chain but it has compression an does hard start with pedel to floor even tho I have to hold it to the floor just to keep it runing ruff at low Rpms till it stalls
