Try disconnecting the wiring harness to the MAF ( mass air floww sensor) and see if it stays running if it does replace it (if not the car will run real rich,burn fuel and leave a cloud of smoke behind you.

Why wont 97 expedition eddie bauer run after startup?

Have you checked the fuel pump for any blockage? The car isnt getting any gas unless u manually pump it by pressing the pedal.. So start there
Sometimes when a engine requires excessive revving and throttle to stay afloat its a fuel supply problem. A clogged filter for example can be overcome with excessive throttle that drives the fuel pressure up enough to force it through, but it will barely trickle at idle and stall.

Usually the dead give away for fuel pump is when someone complains they have to floor it as soon as it turns over or it will die right away.

97 Nissan Sentra runs good for 2 miles then stall wont start back up for about an hourcould it be a bad MAF sensor

How many miles on the car?

Most in-line fuel filters are good for about 100 miles.

Then,crud buildup blocks fuel passage,causing the car to stall.

Tbe,, after fuel presure drops off,the crud falls away & the car will start/run.

Repeat same,until you get crazy.

Replace the cilter,problem goes away.

God luck.

97 plymouth voyager starts but dies right away

I would start with checking the fuel filter. After taking it off try blowing through it. Should be very little resistance.

Was just wondering if my computer chip is going out in my 2000 bonniville, as my car will not start up right away i have to step on the gas pedal every time i try to start it also my heater is turn on by...

The Computer for this year is normally set to go to base mode if the computer fails, base mode means you get 1,3 and reverse gears and the gas mileage is bad, this is so that it don't leave you stranded. If it;s slow to start then most likely it is the fuel pump and filter are needing replaced that will cause the car to not start up right away. Also the other problemscould be related to a simple fix for al of them and that is dirty battery or low battery voltage or altanator output is low. You can take to most parts store and have the Battery and altanator tested for free.
