Yea, not a lot of info to go on here.

What osetsky asked is important.

Also, have you verified fuel pressure? Plugs and coils? Timing? Any mods done?

Car doesn't pop /bang or anything like that, it will start ok , for a few seconds.
new timing kit fitted .
There is a small fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail , but in the few seconds it runs , the gauge doesn't register anything.( Just got the oem regulater at the moment)
I have a small autell scanner , but not showing anything, and no engine management light on.
Car is 2.3 stroker
