Q: Clueless
Im completely stumped. 98 s10 2.2L wont start will randomly fire and die on its own consistently starts with starting fluid but only until it burns up than stalls. Ive replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, both coils and the crankshaft position sensor. Pressure holds at the rail 42-45 psi up to 50 while cranking. Checked each plug for spark also checked each individual injector for pulse and all good. Also had 2 different scan tools hooked up and pulled no codes except for the abs system had an open wheel speed sensor circuit. Also looked into having one of yourmechanics mechanics come diagnose at my home but none available in my area. Any ideas?
