Want this question answered?
2003 dodge neon that will start but will not stay running and dies after it starts?
If your alternator is good it should stay running until your engine dies from no fuel.
if your car will not stay charged, try running radio lights and all sorts of things that plug in to ac plug and if your car dies you need a new alternator
A 1989 Chevy Cavalier will not stay running after it has started if the spark plugs are fouled, the fuel filter is dirty, or it has a vacuum leak. Taking the vehicle to a local mechanic or dealership can pinpoint the problem.
check that choke is operating correctly
You have a problem with the charging system. More than likely the alternator has failed.
check all vacuum lines for leaks
Start by checking your fuel filter.
check the fuel pump and sending unit in the fuel tank
TRY A GOOD TUNE UP FIRST ..EVERYTHING FROM THE AIR FILTER TO PLUGS/ WIRES EVERYTHING
You have to change the mass flow sensor
Older vehicle, More then likely a fuel pump prob, Next time it dies, Put about a ounce of gas in the carb, Crank it, If it cranks up and dies, Replace the pump. Thanks {R}
