My dad has a '93 pickup, the engine started making a funny noise, so he took it in to the shop. They said it was the pin connecting the piston rod to the crankshaft. So, my dad decided he'd buy a new engine and drop it in himself and call it a learning experience... its been one hell of an experience (not in a good way)... We had my uncle helping out, he's taken out & put in new engines several times. We finally got it all back together in May, and tried to start it. It starts, but only for a few seconds, maybe up to a minute. It's almost like its shutting itself down for some reason. We've checked the fuel pressure and everything there seems fine, the engine just stops. We checked for codes from the computer and all we get is the code that says everything is normal. Anybody got any ideas?
