Well i have a 3.1 and it starts to fire but doesnt start, and if it does run it only runs for 30 seconds or less. Just replaced the fuel pump and the intake gaskets have been replaced.....any ideas would be grateful

Thanks

Hello, nice picture. When the vehicle refuses to start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark and injector pulse. If you don't have either one, look for an rpm signal.

Any codes, can you check fuel pressure?
