Motor starts then dies in 3 seconds....bad gas?

2013Tundra, 112,000 on the clock. Full tank of gas.

Motor starts and immediately dies as if fuel shut off. Fuel filter? Bad gas? Other?

All comments welcome.

 

Could be alot of things but I would listen to see if the fuel pump goes on when you turn the ignition I'm not a mechanic tho so .....it realy could be anything

 

Try using your spare key. Could be a interlock/ignition issue.

 

Is your 2013 Flex Fuel?

 

Great suggestions! I will run these traps and report back.

 

Check your MAF sensor on your air intake

 

If it starts fine and turns off after 3 seconds every time I don't think it's a physical issue, something with the security software or something.

 

mine did the same thing, it was the maf sensor, its the lil plug on the air intake tube between the airfliter and the manifold. sensor is anywhere for 60-120$ takes less than 5mins to swap and problem went away.

No sir

No sir.

Looking for spare key and will focus on MAF.

Thanks all.

 

Got the last MAF sensor Orielly's had. Headed to swap out.

 

Well, swapped out the sensor and zero change.

This truck is parked in a downtown open but covered multi floor concrete garage. Spotted by a younger set of eyes than mine, was a chewed up right side fender well wiring harness to include headlight wires. Squirrels!

Thanks for all the help guys. Monday call is to the insurance agent.
