Q: Primed with injector fluid and car shut down
I have replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, coils, fuel pump, distributor cap, rotor button, brake system. For three weeks my truck worked well after I had made all of these replacements; however, it totally shut down yesterday. It started when I primed with injector fluid. Once it burns off, it shuts off. Since I changed the brake pads, it has not started at all. What do you think is wrong with my truck?
