Fuel pressure, loss of spark. Will it immediately restart and gradually die, or does it act as if the key is being shut off?

I would suggest at this point to check the fuel pressure and volume. Has it had a fuel filter replaced at some time?

THE FUEL FILTER WAS REPLACED AFTER DIESEL WAS PUT IN BY MISTAKE BUT I DON'T THINK THEY GOT ALL OF IT OUT SO I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER AGAIN. THE COMPANY THAT HAS WORKED ON IT WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING I TOLD THEM. YOU KJNOW, "YOU ARE A WOMAN THEREFORE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT". AFTER THE DIESE WAS PUT IN, I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT TO DO AND NOT TO DO. TO BAD THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T LISTEN. I WILL CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. THANK YOU BRENDA LEAGUE
