DAVES89 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I would start with the ignition module and coil pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon L Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I would start by checking the fuel pressure and then check the spark, although you seem to have spark at startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Starting spark and initial fuel shot is provided through the crank sensor and ignition module until the ECM takes over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the crankshaft position sensor. It produces two signals that are needed for the engine to run correctly. Maybe if one signal is missing the engine will start through the ICM but not continue to run without the other signal when the ECM takes control of timing and fuel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have three Reattas. Swap a coil pack/ignition module from another one and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
