I have a 2003 eco cavi l61 with the 5spd geartrec. non abs. what is going on is car idles and revs fine when stationary (although it cranks a while and I have to let off the key a bit for it to fire) but when I drive forward or reverse I can go about a car length and it sputters and dies. fuel pump still running. I have 60psi of fuel pressure, vats disabled. what could it be?

I also experienced that before. However, mine turned ou to be a problem in the alternator.

Crank sensor and/or associated wiring.

It's behind/under the starter. Good luck.

I also assume that it's the crank sensor. Did you have it checked already?

Was not crank sensor. What else could it possibly be?

The wiring for it. That little adapter piece right before the sensor sometimes has problems and needs replaced. Don't cut it out and solder the right end on. That piece has a crossover in it I believe.

If it's not the crank sensor, then check the wiring next like what Y3llowCav mentioned.
