Quick question.
Went for a joy ride last week before i painted it the car. Car sat for a week. Last night i put it together fired it up, idled for like 5 min, than died before i could drive it.
I checked, fuel, spark plugs, all my sensors… basic stuff, sill nothing. Does anyone have ideas or tests to run to check over everything

I’d look for something you may have hit or unplugged in the recent area of work.
