Well all let me say to all of you thank you for so much information. I have a 1999 Rodeo LS that has already had the engine replaced, the SRS Coil Assembly inside the steering wheel, the relay and control module for the wipers ...... the list is long! Oh when will it stop!

Any way, The engine dies imediately after i hear it fire and let go of the key! I can always get it started but it behaves this way at pretty much every start. Usually after it starts it idles crazy for a bit. The idle speed seems fine at about 750 (Auto Tranny). The fuel pump is priming as the key is turned on (can hear it). Once i get it going, it will not stall or act weird at all.... it does tick or sound a little like a diesel but that is another issue io believe. If the throttle is pressed a bit, it seems to start better. I have my Haynes manual and am thinking it may have a bad fuel pressure regulator.... If any one has any innput i would surely appreciate it!!
