I replaced the generator (battery) control module and the negative battery cable. I started car and it was running fine for about 10 minutes, then it started to get a lot of hesitation. Now the car will only run for about 2 seconds and shuts down. I get just about all the dash lights come on. This battery module mounts on the negative cable. Can you help me with this?

Hi,

This could be a few things. Based on your description, I would recommend checking fuel pump pressure first. If it is low, these symptoms can be the result.

Here is a link that explains in general how to check the pressure:

Also, I attached diagnostics for fuel pressure testing below. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Start with this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
