A friend had a similar problem in a marine diesel. It turned out to be a sag in the return line that created a trap. Fuel would pool there and screw up the flow. Hope that helps?

I have a 91 dynasty, without pressing the gas it starts(poorly) and runs for 2 seconds then dies, if you press the gas it dies immediatly. Have replaced the fuel filter, checked the fuse and relay and the pump was replaced two months ago. Any thoughts!?

1983 Plymouth Voyager starts and runs for about 2 seconds and dies. Runs a little longer with starter fluid sprayed in the carb. Dies on pedal. I've already checked and replaced spark plugs, AIS motor, fuel filter, and checked for spark. I think its fuel.

I have a 1989 Jeep Charokee, 4.0. ( i know, "Just Empty Every Pocket") Great offroad vehicle though. Recently, it would not start. Then after sitting for a few weeks, it starts, runs for about 15 seconds and then dies. It will do this multiple times.

I just replaced the motor on my 97 nissan maxima. (3.0 engine) It idles and runs fine but starts terribly hard, almost like its flooded. If engine is cold it might crank for 15 seconds or more. it also kicks back or misses while cranking.

I have a 1988 Pontiac Firebird formula. Engine was replaced with a 350 TBI. Car starts and dies immediately. Fuel pump runs and If you disconnect fuel line, it flows a large volume of fuel. However, my fuel pressure gauge does not register pressure.
