I have replaced everything I can think of, I can start it, but it will not stay running.

Are you sure about that engine size? My US automotive database does not show a three cylinder engine for that vehicle? How long since a tune-up? Are there any applicable trouble codes? Use a gauge and check proper fuel pressure.

Hi Markie,

Here is a link to an article from this site that features written instructions and pictures showing and explaining the process of checking the fuel pressure yourself. If you decide you would like do this yourself you can purchase a fuel pressure gauge online from sites like Amazon.com.
