I replaced bad cam sensor with new one and car starts right up but, It stalls within a couple of secs? It didnt start at all before so the sensor was bad. Am i missing somenthing? And i would like to bleed my abs brakes any help with the correct procedure would be helpful. I heard that you have to bleed them with it running?
opcorn:
Oh yea its a 1999 with a 6 cyl thanks .

What lead you to think the cam sensor was bad in the first place ?

If thier were trouble codes present, usualy they would need cleared after the repairs.

THough it sounds like thier are other problems present...

You do not need the car running to bleed the brakes.
Start bleeding from right rear, left front, left rear, right front.

i was told when i tried to get it inspected and sure enough it died a cpl days later. i removed it and it was cracked so i replaced it and it started right up but also stalls within secs. sounds fine when it starts but i was also told i had a misfire in #3 so im changing the plugs and wires today.as far as the bleeding,thanks for some reason i thought i read to have it running for ABS but couldnt remember .

Also when was the last time your fuel filter was changed ?
Might get your fuel pressure checked too, should be 41-47 PSI.

Either of those could cause it to start then die with in seconds.

Even a clogged air filter could cause simular problems.

Hope that helps.
