Mazda Etude Dealer Problem
Good Day,
My Etude 1600 started to have a feeling of feul starvation when the tank reaches 1/4 full. So I spoke to a technician at a local Auto workshop and he said I need to test the feul pump. Did that and found that it does work but the presure rises very slow. so I replaced the F-pump with an original part from the dealer. After installation, the car starts but only runs for a couple of seconds and then dies. I then got it to idle constant at +/- 900rpm, but as soon as I touch the throttle the car dies. Any suggestions where to find the problem?

check fuel pressure, it may be the regulator isn't working properly
