stoped GTV6



The engine requires two things to run, with a twist to each;  spark, and
fuel -- both must be timed correctly, and be of appropriate intensity.  It
is <possible> the belt has now slipped, but that seems unlikely.

If the spark is good, then the problem is fuel.  Is this another instance
where the cold-start provides enough fuel to run a few seconds, then stop?

First, get someone to listen at the passenger rear to see if the pump
continues running when the key leaves the start position.

A number of problems may arise -- the dual relay set may be faulty, the
little finger in the AFM may not be making contact -- the upside-down
safety switch may need to be re-set or replaced.

More subtle, the ground wires attached to the passenger side valve cover
must make sound contact -- as also the ground strap at the driver-side
front of the engine.  (Those ground wires, as well as the others, must
also make good contact to the computer box at the passenger foot-well,
or body for the ground strap.)
