I just put a new motor in the car and now when i start it it runs fine for 5 to 6 seconds then dies like you took the key out. even if you rev it up during the 5 seconds it will still die. i checked the mas sensor and it is fine. i need help.

check the crank angle sensor and the cam angle sensor. I was doing a timing belt job on my car and somehow broke the crank angle sensor. I didn't break the sorsor completely apart but seperated the two sensor pads. Both sides were still wired to the car so it would start up but wouldn't send a proper signal so the car shuts itself off right after starting.
 
it was the cam angle sensor, the 95 motor didnt have one ad my 99 needs one.
now i have the front balance shaft knocking so hopefully i can just eliminate it.
