hi guys,
ok, so here is some info on the car. 2002 4.0 V6 180K.
recent full tune up, new plugs, wires, alternator, thermostat, air filter, fuel filter.
No CEL, fuel pressure 60psi
The engine starts as it should, after 20 sec it just stalls, and dies. it dont matter if I hold down the gas. no codes at all.
i cannot solve this one?
any idea?
 






Very common is the PVC/Vacuum hose that is right below and back from the throttle body. Had the same thing happening on my 2002 and found this hose to be cracked and bad. When the engine starts vacuum collapses the hose and the engine dies.

If that's the case, I have replaced mine ...on a regular biases as it gets "soft" over time (use).
