I initially had a bad alternator and I change the alternator and the battery and now a new starter. It would start run for a few seconds install. I checked the security system and it is not showing that it was triggered no signs. I moved on and changed out spark plug spark plug wires yesterday and the car again would start and stall a few seconds later. So after and doing some research I changed out the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensors today and I yet no start. It will turn over, I can hear the fuel pump run for about five seconds. I get fuel at the fuel rail but I'm not sure why yesterday I got it to start stalled out and was difficult to restart. But I got it to restart two or three more times. I just couldn't keep it running. Now today it will just turn over but not start. Can you please help?

Hello, I'm Danny.

It's possible you might have a weak/failing fuel pump. I would suggest performing a fuel system pressure test. If you don't have a tester your local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and will rent you one.The specifications for your fuel pump is 50-60 p.s.i. I've attached a tutorial for you to view showing what is involved.

Thanks Danny. I will try this today hopefully that's my solution. I will let you know when I perform the test. I'll be at work all day today so I won't be able to get to it until tonight again.
