2.3 na starts and dies
Hi all I am new to the forum.
I just bought a sand rail with a 2.3 ford efi na in it. Every time I turn it on it starts and runs for a second or two then dies. Checked fuel has plenty of pressure I also flushed the tank out. No change still does the same thing. I not sure what else to check oils it be wiring,egr, or iac? Any help would be great thanks!!!

Change on my 2.3 and took the air filter box off and it would run for a second a die because to much air . Once I put it back in it was fine. Hope I didn't waste your time lol

Do you know what year the engine is?
does it have a distributor?
On some models with distributors and one coil, the coil gets full battery power during startup then switches to 1/2 battery power via a resistor wire or Ballast Resistor.
You can try running a jumper wire from battery + to coil + and then see if it stays running, if it does then resistor is bad.
This is just for some single coil engines, coil packs get full battery voltage 24/7 with key on.
