Car starts and immediately dies

Asked by Curtis Oct 18, 2018 at 10:41 AM about the 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

95 grand prix and sporadically it will start and die
immediately sometimes it has to sit for days
before it will start and run. When I try to start it it
fires up but dies right away.  I've replaced the
computer ignition control module and fuel relay.  It
gets good fuel pressure any ideas would be
appreciated

Definitely check your cam and crank sensor. Those things can be buggy for sure. NinjaXxChicken is on the right path. Sounds like timing
