Engine starts for 2 seconds and stops

Chevrolet Captiva 2007 2.0 diesel automatic 15000 miles
The engine starts and then stops after 2 to 3 seconds and has fault codes of high temp exhaust sensors 1 and 2 but I cannot locate these sensors the dealer worked on this car before when it shorted the wiring on the ECM and they change the but not the wiring harness and said they cannot supply the harness any more...but maybe the harness is still ok as it is because the engine starts but it just stops after 2 to 3 seconds every time but could not keep it running

Check your mass air flow sensor at your air box. Most common problem with starting and stalling in Captiva.
