Okay guys here it is. I just bought this car from a small dealership. Ran great on way home but when stopped to put gas in it the car stated real slow like battery was bad. Got home n changed battery and now car will start then automatically shuts off unless I keep foot on acceleration. I read in some posts it will run for three or four seconds then shuts off if it is a sensor like camshaft or crank senor. But it shuts off immediately, but will start on first key turn.

Hello,

This can be normal when replacing the battery becasue the computer needs to relearn the engine. Try driving it around and it should come back around. Here is a guide that will help you.

Please let us know what happens.
