Hello,

In order for an engine to run, it will need to have spark, fuel and compression. It is also important to have a fictional exhaust system.

Is there currently a catalytic converter installed on the car?
If it does not have one then it could be the reason why the engine is not staying on. Some times lack of back pressure from an exhaust can stall an engine.

Please let me know what you have.
Thank you.
