Any advice on a forum article I should go to, or advice on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, as I originally thought it was a fuel issue. Now I am not sure. Thank you! |

Now I am not sure. Thank you! is this A) a car that has been sitting for a while/long time and not been run. and you are attempting to start it and bring it back to life. or B) has this problem suddenly developed in a running car. if its A) then then the symptoms fit this scenario. its starting and running off the cold start injector. it will run 5-10 seconds on the squirt it gets from that. but then it dies because the 4 main injectors are not opening. they are clogged or corroded closed and cannot spray. to check, pull an injector and crank the engine - confirm they are spraying. if not A) and its developed suddenly let us know. can think further. |

The car was running. I bought it, and ran about 4 tanks through it and then this happened... I will put that on the list of things to check, thank you! |

I probably drove it 10 days in a row prior to this. |
