Q: The car ran for a few seconds then died and won’t redstart.

asked by on

The heater core hose split so I made a bybass hose. I took the distributed cap off in order to have better access to the area where the hoses connected to. I put everything back together put my foot on the clutch, and turned it over. The car started like normal ran for a couple seconds then suddenly shut off.

My car has 336000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
