Hi, I replaced fuel pump, fuel fuse relay, rotor distributor, ignition coil. Spark plugs and fuel filter. Car would turn on for two seconds then off. It kept doing this numerous times and a neighbor went to check fuel pressure and pressed on it then engine lit up. I quickly hosed it and no one was hurt. All wires are fine cause only lasted about five second on, but I do not know what to do anymore.

Good morning.

Is the theft light or security light on?

When you turn on the key, the lights should come on then go off. If it does not, then you have an issue with the security system.

If it does go off, then you need to check the fuel pressure to see what the value is. The system needs a specific pressure to keep running.

Is the check engine light on?

Good morning.

From the video you provided, it sounds like the battery is dead. Check the battery as that may be the entire issue.
