Car Starts then dies about 5 seconds after?
I have a 2002 Z06 with a A&A Supercharger kit. I just recently installed the kit and have been driving for about 3 weeks. While driving, the car died in mid throttle, so i was towed home. The dash said low oil level so I changed the oil and put a new sensor in and still the car starts then dies. Now there is no check engine light or low oil level wanring and the car still dies? Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I had A&A flash the computer so I could drive until tuned..... Thanks

my car did that the other day after installing my rebuilt trans...tried it twice, and then found my airbridge was disconnected. I would look for a disconnected tube, you could probably disconnect your MAF and try to start the car, it should run, just run like crap if that is the problem.

No codes and I am not sure if the pump is priming, I dont have pressure guage, and I also tried to listen when I turned the key to on and did not hear much other than a click. I will try the air bridge deal. thanks

If you don't hear that fuel pump come on for 2 seconds when you turn the key to the on position...stop right there.
