Can you time it on a few occasions? It could be shutting down due to overheating or maybe there’s no compression so it auto shuts off. Or perhaps the compressed air can’t escape and it locks up? Loads of thoughts but without having a play it would be hard to say.

I truly hate these compressors Laughing

If you have an IID tool you can sit and watch it over heating (think it gets to about 180c before it cuts out so I doubt it will be that that's causing it. I'm currently battling with a "Suspension Fault" in the form of "Not Venting Gallery" so mine cuts out as soon as you turn the Disco on (well after 10 secs ish)

Something broke the con rod in the first place, and if the new one stops, could you not have a blockage somewhere causing it to over pressurise? Fitting a new compressor may not fit it.
