82 v6 starts and idles for a few seconds then stalls
Hey guys. I have an 82 2.8liter I have put in new distributer parts and new spark plugs. It only has 69000kms and all original. It will start and barely idle for a few seconds then stalls. I have already taken catalytic converter off thinking it was plugged. It seems as though It's like you just turn the ignition off.

Next I would verify there is fuel pressure and that the accelerator pump is spraying when the juice the throttle. Next would be to check the Vacuum.
Did the engine ever run since the distributor has been installed?

the vacuum lines arent in the greatest shape but I thought it should at least run a little bit at least

There are so many thinks this could be. Weak spark, too much fuel. not enough fuel, distributer installed wrong, jumped timing chain. low compression, EGR valve stuck open, I am sure I am forgetting some. Things get real complicated if there is more then one thing wrong which can happen in 30 years.
