I replaced the fuel pump and filter. It cranks and started when I used starting fluid but will not keep running.

Hi,

Let's start from the beginning. You confirmed that it is a fuel issue but we need to find out what the pressure is. If we just assume the pump is building pressure then we could waste a lot of time.

Here is a guide on how to test the fuel pressure:

Once we know the pump can build pressure, we can go to the next step.

Also, can you let me know what model and engine you have? Thanks
