Default 2006 Chevy equinox
Just replaced wires and plugs and got everything connected. Engine starts but shuts off immediately. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Was it doing this before you changed the plugs and wires? Did you do anything else? Is the check engine light on?

Retrace your steps and make sure that all connections are tight and that nothing was disconnected in error.

Planning on doing that when I get off work. I also broke my map sensor so I went to a junk yard and got same part number that came off mine. Could this be a reason?

If everything checks out should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one?

Took battery to get tested showed full charge but bad battery. Could this possibly be a problem on why it did what I was talking about?

If the battery tested bad, you need to replace it anyway. The cars today have so much electronics that a bad battery can cause many issues. I have seen run ability issues, but anything is possible.
