Car starts up then dies a few seconds later

[So Cal 420a DSM]

Could it be my strut bar touching my wires? Every time i throw it back on it starts to do that. I changed out my spark plugs last time and it was running fine. Then i threw on the strut bar and it started shutting down on me. Help please

Could definitely be strut bar shorting out on the battery. I would take it off as it could start a fire if it contacts the battery for a long enough period of time. I speak from first hand experience. It's also common for the harness under the cam sensor to rub through along the cyl head.

I check my o2 sensor and one of my wires where cut off. So hopefully when i replace it everything will be fine.

I have done everything to try to get my 420a running again. I Change the spark plugs, tested the coil pack, wires , changed out the fuel filter, also the fuel pump, did a fuel pressure test and got 46psi. Could it be a bad ground somewhere or a bad fuse?

Come on Terrance, you know better than to make two posts about the same issue. If you can't figure out the problem try to post more info about what you've done to fix it or take pictures.

Merging this with the thread you've already started...

check your cam position sensor or your throttle position sensor/wire for damage or if the sensor(s) still work. Keep your cool and lets get this thing running.
