    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
