Engine unstable soon after starting and misfiring when raved beyond 2000 when stationary
Fuel pump shut off switch is in pressed down state all the time, no fuel from the return pipe going to the tank.
The air bag signal flashing for sometime
after vehicle runs for about ten minutes engine stabilizes but with irregular idle, when you press accelerator peddle down with a kick it produces a pink sound like engine about to cut off
In short it is like engine is running with choke on

Please advise

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge for the abs a pro will have ot scan it. Auto parts rent gauge. If no fuel returning to tank it's either blocked or pressure to low.
