car will start but wojnt stay running for more then 30 seconds and when you try and put it in gear it wont go forward or will shut right off. any ideas on what this could be?
 




no its not flashing, it will stay running for like 20-30 seconds then just shut off.and when i try and put it into drive it wont move forward and just shuts off.
 
Usually fuel cut off is about 20 to 30 seconds if there is a security issue. Could be crank sensor or ignition module also. Is it setting any codes?
 


Security related fuel issues are 3-4 seconds. Because the cylinders prime when the key is turned to on, then the injectors do not pulse again.

Determine what you are missing, spark or fuel.
Try unplugged the maf and seeing if you can keep the car running longer.
Pull the IAC and clean it and the bore in the TB.
