Question
Car starts but dies right away. Have checked for vacuum leaks but have not found any. Have checked valve cover , dip stick and oil filler and nothing. Help

Answer
Fuel, air, and spark.

Fuel, air, and spark.

Fuel, air, and spark.


Is your fuel line clean?  Filter?  Pump good?

Assume it's getting air.

Is the spark continuing after starting?  Or is it weak and dying.

These are the things to watch for.
