2G Starts, revs then dies?

Cbrown · Apr 25, 2026

Bought car and trying to get running. Cranks up rpms get to about 1200 then it just dies. I've changed timing belt, headgasket, injector resistor bypass. Compression good all cylinders. Injectors working fine. I just don't know how to tell whats going on here. It's been about 2 months and I'm about to give up and just sell it.

Please someone point me in the right direction .

More info on the car? Which model is it? What has been done to the car (if anything)? What have you tried so far?

1995 Eagle Talon 4g63 turbo with 6 bolt swap.

I know it's getting fire its getting gas it cranks. But goes dead immediately. I don't know what to do from here.

On the ECMLink its showing timing 28 degrees but not sure why. And as for what was done before I got it I don't have a clue, I've been trying to figure all that out.

If you upload the actual log file here, it may help people. I won't be the one to know what to look for but other definitely would know!

Don't give up, your so close!

If I knew how I would man. I don't know how to go through it. I'm new to all this tuning and swapping. And the guy i bought the car from didn't tell me squat. 2 months later I just found out what tune it had so I could plug into it and see what was going on.

Have you mechanically checked the throttle position sensor to verify it’s correctly positioned and calibrated?

Have you done a boost leak test ?

Suggest checking the fuel pressure at the rail to make sure it is being maintained and not dropping out. Sudden dies after starting can often be that.
