What would cause a car to immediatly shut down after starting?
I've been working on this 99 Subaru Legacy Outback. For the last couple of weeks it's had a check engine light on it. I checked the code and it told me that the #4 cylinder is misfiring. First I put in some fuel cleaner, that didn't do any good. So the next thing I tried is replace the spark plugs and cables. As soon as I did this the car started to shut down immediately after starting unless I keep feeding it gas. So what could cause this? What can I check?
@Rich Sandstorm:
I'll check again but I didn't see any loose wires. I'll also get the codes checked. To answer the other two questions it seems to be running smoothly when gas is a applied but when it stalls out it shakes quite violently.
Checked the codes again. The P0304(misfire in cylinder 4 is still there) and there is now a new one P0440(the guys at autozone said it was something to do with exhaust and emmissions).
