Changed out engine, Car will start and run for about 1-3 min. then shut down. won't start again for 2-3 min. then the same thing. Replaced the fuel pump and filter, didn't solve the problem. Changed spark plugs same results. Has anyone had a simular problem? Thank you for any help.
No check engine light, and getting code 14.

is that the same motor that came out of it? If you installed another year or type of motor, the computer will not know this and is running the data for the original motor that was in the car, so everything will be out of wack. Check the ignition timing, and recheck all the connections to make sure everyhting is hooked up right. Ensure the spark plug wires are in the right cylinder and distributor position.
