Engine died, like it wasn't getting fuel. Changed filter, no difference. Reset fuel pump, no difference. Been driveng with the same fuel for two weeks, so it's not bad fuel. Can hear fuel pump running. Engine will start, but won't run for more than a second or two. Engine acts like it's starved for fuel. Please help!

Try replacing the fuel filter

after it dies one time pull a spark plug and see if it is wet with fuel
if wet no spark
if dry no fuel

try spraying starter fluid in the throttle bodie to keep it runnin if thet works no fuel

if u take the fuel filter of and it has excessive pressure even after the pressure has been released the filter is bad
