So, I bled the fuel line going to motor. It sprayed, I then cut the key off. Turned it back on to run the fuel pump. Then it started idled for 30 minutes. I tried to go down the road and when I gave it gas it cut off. Now when I give it a little gas and let off it shuts off. When I put it in gear it shuts off. Please help what do you do?

There are a few things that we need to eliminate in order to know what this is.

The leading two causes are a weak fuel pump, and the other is a vacuum leak.

Here are two guides that will give the info needed to check these two things first:

Once we know these two things then we can go from there. However, here is another guide that will take us a little further on this issue.

Please run through this info and let me know what you find with this.

Thanks
