My catera wont stay started it shuts right off everytime I try
To start it been sittin for 3 months. I changed the ignition lock cylinder and
The ignition switch. I was wondering could it be the fuel filter

Have you swapped your immobiliser chip over from the old key? Try holding the old key next to the cylinder and starting it

It's worth doing to eliminate it, mine was doing something similar a while back, It's a fairly easy job

....the fuel filter I mean

Typical immobiliser symptoms I'd put my 1p on the op not swapping the chip over when he fitted the new barrel

The new key I have it has a chip in it too and I held the other key
Next to the cylinder and still the same thing.And the new key and cylinder
Came with a black thing around it what is that for some type of sensor

Im sorry but whats 1p and op

Im sorry but whats 1p and op

1p = a penny
op = original poster

So. You swapped the transponder ring over too?

I would suggest refitting your transponder ring (the black ring) and moving the chip from the old key to the new one ISTR that the chip, transponder ring and immobiliser ECU are all linked

[AjOmega]

I havent exactly changed the ring over yet or the chips

So you still have the ring that was fitted to the car fitted? If so, try getting the little chip from the old key next to it

[AjOmega]

I tried that and it still didn't work and I tried the new 1 and that didnt work.
I forgot to mention the car been sitting since may could it have
Bad fuel

[dbug]

If the car starts and if rev'd immediately stalls try unplugging the MAF sensor.  If its OK then you need a new MAF 

[AjOmega]

Were is the maf sensor located
