    If yoi are talking about when you crank it up, it runs a minute ofr two and dies, it is probably low on water or oil OR one of the sensors has gone bad. If low, top it off, if it is a sensor, unplug it to see, it will run but leave your check engine light on.

    Did your warning light on the dash go off, if not I would be trying to find out what it is.

    You seem way too relaxed here...

    Did you buy it just to play with it for a hobby...Or are you genuinely concerned about the problem because you need to put it to work?
