sorry can we clarify the problem
wont crank, or only cranks for a second or two
a crank, no start
a start then stall (original problem)
starts and runs but no drive
if it is start then stall how long does it run for
So the problem:
Car will crank and start but will not run.
The car starts fine, even runs pretty smooth a few seconds after start, but after the 'start' the engine stalls.
I can also tap the throttle and get rev out of the motor, immediately after start, but then the engine cuts out straight after, even if I keep my foot on the throttle.
It seems to happen as the car switches from the battery to the alternator. Due to a slightl increased in rpm caused by the extra load, and can confirm as my volt gauge goes from 11/12 to 13v just before. I get no priming from the pump before start, however I have tested the pump wiring, relay and fuse, and just yesterday replaced the fuel pump and filter.
This might sound a bit stupid, but it seems as though the 'running' circuit for the engine isn't working. Have checked all fuses and can't find any blown ones. All other electronics work fine when the vehicle is turned on (dash, stereo, gauges, lights).
