it started last Saturday. I swapped in a RB25det into an s14 which is why I am posting in this forum.

Anyways, I started the car up and let it idle so that it could warm up and after about 2 minutes, before it even warmed up, the engine just shuts itself of. no sputtering just off. I take my key out and put it back in to start it again and I notice my accessories are not coming on immediately like it should, it takes a couple of seconds. but my headlights are totally unaffected by this and stay on the whole time.

Any ideas?
