What classified stuff? Get a Haynes or any good service manual and troubleshoot. FUEL, SPARK, COMPRESSION. Check these!

And more info!

If it cranks fine and then immediately stalls, you've probably got a huge vacuum leak. That's what mine did and I found a torn gasket under the Exten manifold. Replaced the gasket and a bit of gasket sealer and the problem went away.

Is your mass air flow plug still plugged in? I would check the connection to be sure.(might be corroded)and everything he said^^^^.
