Hi all, i've recently rebuilt a 1996 9A 16v which needed a new head gasket and has had the head re-built while it was off. The problem i'm having is that it will only run for about 2 seconds and then cuts off. All 4 cylinders are firing and when it is running it sounds fine. I presuming its an sensor somewhere causing the ECU to stall the engine, however, I didn't strip the engine down so I can only make educated guesses as to where all the wiring goes. I'm thinking its one of the sensors on the side of the head next to the water flange (below the dizzy). I have only two sensors and as many as four slots. I was under the impression there should be 3 sensors and 1 blank - is this correct? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
