not sure why it would, there fairly cheap, might be worth a try. had a buddy that was having the same problem you are describing....vehicle would start run for a couple seconds, die. he would start it again...run for a couple seconds and die. this happened all of a sudden. he drove into town, turned it off to run into a store and when he came out it wouldn't start. i was thinking fuel related, but it turned out to be the cam positioning sensor.
