Get in and Start up my Holden Astra equips 2002 model then just stalls again after about 5 or so seconds. Does this Every single time. Can get a few revs out of it then it just dies on me. Been trying to work out what's going on with it for hours every day for a week now and am getting nowhere. Might be something to do with the fuel pump maybe! Out of ideas on what to look at next or what else it could be.

The first thing I would check is fuel pump pressure. Make sure it is producing pressure that is within the manufacturer's specs with is 48 to 52 psi here are two guides to help us see whats going on.

Check the fuel pressure to make sure the fuel pump is producing the correct fuel pressure and then get back
