Try replacing the crankshaft position sensor. I had a 1998 dodge ram that had that same issue. Thats what it was.
Its by the flywheel under the vehicle. probably on the passenger side.

Needs a New Front O2 Sensor.Saturn Also has a updated Re-flash For This DTC. Recommend an OEM sensor for this,lots of issues with aftermarket O2 sensors!!

SOURCE: 1999 saturn sc wont start

I owned a 95 SC1 manual many years ago. It acted like that for me, and stalled on a regular basis. Turned out the EGR valve was bad. I replaced it and all those problems went away. I'm not sure how to test it, but two bolts and you can pull the valve and make sure it's not crudded up. Don't use solvents or you can damage the diaphragm in there, just use a toothbrush and some rags. You should also use a new gasket when you reinstall it, although as a test you can reuse the old one if it's not damaged. While you do that check for obvious intake and vacuum leaks. There may even be a vacuum line going to the EGR valve. Hope that helps.

2001 dodge ram 1500 wont stay running when i start it. could it be because of the tranny housing bolts missing or not tight?

unlikely unless on of the loose bolts is the ground point for the battery
run the fault codes
could be crank or cam position sensors from bad harness connections

Engine will turn over but wont start

The problem is that you have the timing off and needs to be reset also check the cam and crank censors some of them have to be replaced when you do the timing belt it throws them out. But the timming is still out if it is comming out intake.

1998 vw 2.0 starts runs but surges advance throttle to aprox 2000 rpm dies? codes po322 po341 p1543 p1565 maf disc onnected get code po102

Throttle position sensor TPS is not behaving. Codes p1543 and p1565 indicate the throttle position is too low... as if disconnected. The other codes are as a result of the EECU noting the disparity between the throttle input signal and the expected input from the engine speed and distributor/cam sensor. Check that the connector and wiring to the TPS. If these are OK then it is the TPS that needs to be changed.
