lost!!!
Ok, heres the deal...I have a 88 GXL. When i got it, the engine was carbine locked but i got it free. It still wont run. Compression is fine, checked all vac lines, new fuel, new fuel filter, new air filter, new plugs...the works. I think its th AFM but, I built a diagnostic reader and tested it with the ECU. There were no error codes that came up. It will run for about 30 sec at a rough idle then kills. Any ideas?

There are no error codes when i start it up. I built a diagnostic tester so when I turn the ignition on with the tester hooked up, the two lights turn on then off then if there is an error, the lights will fire out the code. The ECU isnt detecting anything wrong so i dont know what it could be. I checked all the hoses and stuff and its all fine. The AFM is connected too.

The lights are hooked up right, they come on for a couple seconds when i turn the key. Plus when i first tested it, i forgot to connect the AFM so it read that code
. I ran a compression test on both rotor housings and they checked out. So i dont know what i should do. Im gonna test the fuel pump later this week. Is it posible that i need a new air flow meter even if i didnt get an error code for it?
