c43 1999 help engine starts and stalls immediately
i stored my car for the winter, i tried to start it this week end, but engine starts and stalls immediately. sometime engine stays on but as soon as i touch the throttle it dies. i have no check engine code. i changed maf sensor. i have 55-60 psi fuel pressure . anyone know what to check? can it be the security system that cuts the injector? help please

I think it's the CPS or "crank position sensor"
located at back of engine. kind of a bear to get to, but a relatively simple job. it's a very common failure on these cars.
also, I've heard of it being the grease on the flywheel drying up, has something to do with completing a circuit for the starter mechanism. if the grease dries up the connection is lost and the ECU kills the car. car may not start, may start then immediately stop. I don't think this is your problem, because yours is dying when you hit the throttle.
