    Engine wont stay running

    Im having issues keeping my engine running. It will start up fine but run for maybe 5 to 10 seconds. Im thinking its the injector pulses. I checked the hot side and its getting 12v. I checked between both leads and im getting 5.5v. I also checked the negative lead and positive from the battery and i get 12v. Any thoughts? Could it be a fryed pcm?(vats is tuned out)
    Any other possible reasons it wont stay running?
    I made a common ground for the harness on the driver side head by the ect sensor and from there grounded to the chassis. Do you think I need more grounds? Could that cause the issue im having?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Fuel lines have 60 psi. I have one ground from engine to frame and a few directly to the frame and some to the driver side head.

    what about the air intake temp sensor?

    maf can be somewhat disabled in the tune but not permanently deleted; in order to revert to sd mode.
