FC's have a tendancy to not want to engage the starter motor alot (click, click, vrooommm) i dunno what causes this, but i just get around it by turning the key alot. about the turning off after about a minute, we need more info (idles wierd?, what revs is it idling at?, is the gas old?, what condition was it in when you bought it? was it sitting or was someone driving it? etc.)

check plugs - plug wires - etc..

could be something like that... gas could be old (didnt understand what you meant when you said something about the gas).. just pitching out ideas.. im having the same general type of problem.. but i think ive already narrowed it down..

So it starts, idles up to 1500RPM (which is what is supposed to happen) then dies?

Complete tuneup. Then check for vacuum leaks, and test the BAC valve as well as the AWS solenoid. Search for instructions.
