Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Automotive Wiring and Electrical Pjamasam New User Jul 10, 2017, 8:10 PM Post #1 of 3 (1690 views) Car Starts, Idles, then Dies Sign In I drive a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant (v6). I recently purchased an after market radio because my current one had issues with the volume control. I decided to install the new one myself to save some money. I got the set up to work, unplugged everything and reassembled my dash with the new stereo. I turned on the car and my stereo didn't turn on. I blew a fuse on the car and replaced it. The radio no longer works but power was restored to the car. However, when I turn on the car it will start idk then immediately die. I have tried multiple fixes like holding the idle manually for a few minutes and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. I'm at my wits end and unsure what I need to do to fix this.

Maybe you should check all your fuses related to the engine management system.
