Due to it running off the starter fluid we have a fuel issue. This means we need to start with a fuel pressure check and find out what the pressure is.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Once we know what the pressure is, we will have a better idea but more than likely the pump is the issue.

We also need to change the fuel filter before we replace the pump if you have not changed this in a while.

I am attaching the process below for the pump and filter from the manual, so we need to run through all this and let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
