I have cleaned the throttle bottle, changed fuel filter, check alternator and charged battery up. Every now and then can get it running for longer than 3 sec and it does good but when I shut it off the problem starts all over again. I have put it on a computer and it doesn't pop any codes. Please help. Have asked many mechanics and no one has an idea.

Yes, I have tried cleaning the injectors. Have already drained fuel tank and started over. For bubba I have been working on cars since i was 12 and went to school for it.

Sounds to me like fuel is not being delivered properly if it shuts off after 3 seconds when you can get it on.
I see you changed the fuel filter, but it could also be the fuel injectors or fuel pump...or possibly even lines.
If you can, remove the fuel rail with the injectors attached, and push some gas. See if it mist out pretty strong.
If not, try a fuel injection cleaning kit. If that doesnt work, check the fuel pump or replace the injectors.
good luck.

The Idle air control may be stuck or you have a faulty Cam sensor. The cam sensor should have left a code but the idle air control won't..When you turn the key to the on position don't crank it and have some one put their ear near the gas cap and see if they can hear the fuel pump working in the tank. You may have a bad fuel pump or a faulty fuel pump relay.

no codes ? you had it running showed no codes? well it could be something as small as mabey 5.00 or 6.00 drop the tank pull fuel pump check the screen replace it and clean the tank out you'll know when you pull it if that's the problem. and check the fuel pressure mabey weak pump. when your not sure start with the cheap things first, good luck.

try checking the pressure regulator in your injection pod setup...there is a spring in there that is known for breaking...maybe you got some foreign material restricting fuel flow....try blowing air thru fuel lines, disconnect and clean that way, i had a truck the lines were clogged...could be a bad fuel pump in your gas tank also, or the pickup screen clogged...its been sitting so anything could have worked in..

Have fuel injectors cleaned professionally or get a tune up

Did you try injector cleaner and some octane booster.
And have you cleaned out the intake and air filter!
Maybe change the spark plugs as well they may be fouled up.
Hope this helps you!!!

remove fuel tank and drain, probably has some moisture in it..
