This sounds like it could be the fuel pump relay. It has a time delay and if it does not see any activity on the ignition system for a few seconds, it shuts down the fuel pump so that the engine does not flood if it stalls out. If the relay fails, it will act as if the ignition has died and will cut out a few seconds after starting. >2) 86 900 turbo. On cold start it idles up and down for a few minutes. >It does not always stall, but sometimes. When warm, starts and runs >fine! Don't know on this one. Good luck, John
