Here is the problem. The car will start run for 5 sec. then die. I can rev the car but it does not have good throttle response. help!!!

check your timing

I have a s13 and I checked the timing and it all seemed right. I might be wrong but it looked right.

It looked right and it is right are two different things.

You need to check it.

Check for air leaks, and check the TPS voltage.

check your knock sensor make sure it's hooked up. it sounds like a knock sensor problem

Check your maf wiring and make sure you are using the right maf.

The ECU will resort to it's base map if the knock sensor is not plugged in. It simply will not ever retard timing.

A quick test would be to unplug the knock sensor, and see if the motor will idle.

I do not believe it is a knock sensor issue.

I got it running, it was just bad gas.

thanks for the info on the knock sensor, but i know a few sr's that have had that problem. or maybe assumed that was the problem.

Typically knock sensors are intermittant, and cause misfiring under 40%+ throttle position and sometimes at idle.
