while driving my vehicle it died (no warning) it turns over but will not start. There is spark. The fuel pump pressure with key on was between 2-20 psi. The pump was changed, still low fuel pressure. this vehicle is fuel injected. placed small amount of fuel in the carb, did not even attempt to start. I noticed there was a small amount of oil in the carb. I was concerned about ring problems (but this would not effect the fuel pressure??)
