I know, but it also takes alot more heat and abuse to break down, sensor hurt the engine at all.

Well today I replaced the front and rear vacuum lines, and all the other vacuum lines, and new spark plugs, distributor, wire set, and it still shuts off within ten seconds of starting up. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? And pm me so I don't hijack the thread

I originally used it on an engine that had like 2 psi at idle and 10 driving, jumped me up about 5 psi on that one.
