I recently replaced a few lights behind my cluster and when I went to restart it ran for about 3 secs and then died. I crack the throttle wide open, still dies. The computer is obviously shutting fuel off to the motor, however I tried to reset the passlock and that didn't help. Vehicle is a 97 sunfire, manual. any ideas?

P228C, it has applied exclusively to diesel powered vehicles. It has also meant that the powertrain control module (PCM) had detected a low voltage signal from the control circuit of the electronic fuel pressure regulator, which reflected insufficient fuel pressure.

Sony led tv picture coming then gone only sound is there what problem

hot engine or cold, or both? 180F+ is hot.
Shuts off, idling or on the fly, say at 30mph right foot down it dies?
just clue here...
engine stalls. is complex. but in the macro its below, using tools finds the reason,, but you never said did it restart easy./??????
1: lost of engine compression hot engine, (or overheated)
2: lost 12vdc electric power at stall (caused it) dash goes dead. ?
3: lost spark, test spark at the failure point. if dead trouble shoot speak.
4 bad fueling, too lean (say the fuel pump dies) or too rich.
too rich causes wet spark plug tips. (lots of causes )
5: stalls due to idle RPM too low, below 800 is too low.
too low idle rpm is caused by many things, but top 2 are.
A: EGR stuck wide open, clean it, as the books shows at 60k miles
B: ISC stuck closed. (same deal clean it)

now repost and say when it stalled,
at a read light or flying up a hill wot, wot= wide open throttle.
and when it dies, is the restart easy or hard.

Lack of.gas getting to carb or tbi. Howes the gas tank vent or fuel.filter? Or even.just lots of water.in gas.

This engine is electronically controlled so the first thing that must be done here is to have the systems control computer tested for fault codes and then do the proper diagnostics based on those codes.

you need to remove the whole cluster, there is a bunch of light bulbs behing the cluster, once it is removed it is fairly simple

throttle body injectors and problem to blame! they sound stuck open and might be from a short in the wiring harness or the are just leaky. but sound like if it was fine then just happened i would look at the harness and ecm (engine computer) good luck

Here is how it happens, The positive battery cable was loose, after adjusting the battery cable the speedometer needle went under the retention ping.
How to fix it:
1- remove the positive battery cable
2- have a person to look at the speedometer needle
3- Make the battery cable to touch the positive terminal of the battery (this will make the needle to jump over the retention pin)
4- Tight cable again.

It may be a computer board problem. The board sometimes cracks causing intermitent random faults.

Check the crankshaft position sensor. If the plug is loose or the sensor itself is bad it will cause similar problems
