Ok ever since i did my 6bolt swap and got my car tuned the car will start right away at first..if i drive it for a few mins then turn it off and try to start it again it wont start. When it DOES start sometimes it sounds like shit, then the car dies by itself. If i step on the gas the cars rpms go up a little if any, then dies by itself. After a few tries of this the car will start again normally and drive fine again. But it just got worse..i try to start it and it turns over and everything but the car just wont start...and when it does it sounds like shit and i step on the gas and then the car dies by itself after 2 seconds. Anyone have/had a similar problem? The car is getting spark fuel air everything it just wont start..and when it does it sounds like shit then dies by itself. Is this a tuning issue? a fuse? ecu? I would appreciate it any help. thanks.
 
Sounds like a Cam Angle Sensor (CAS) problem. You need to make sure you have the correct CAS for your 6 bolt, and make sure it's wired properly. Who did the swap? What ECU are you using?

Could be as simple as switching the plug wire order, but i'm sure you've already double checked that huh?
 
am using at 95 eprom sockted ecu with dsmlink..and yes the CAS was wired as is in the magnus 1gina2g guide..could the timing be off?
