Just put Petrol into my car, ran fine for about a mile then died,
I pulled over started it and it fired, ran for around 3/4 seconds and choked and died.

The coil pack has been changed since, no difference.
The fuel pump was changed 3 months ago but wasnt new, it primes but doesnt seem to be holding pressure,

Could this be the fuel pump?
If not what elsee should i be trying...

Any help is appreciated... Thanks
