Your description of the slow stoppage, sounds like the fuel pump is shutting off. So check power at the pump to see if this is the case just prior to it stopping.
Sorry - Sapphire Cosworth 4wd
running an RP lab modified P8 ECU (which has been flawless btw)
100% agree on the fuel pump thoughts - but having tried all sorts of things I finally decided to put on another pump and run it from different power source - car behaved excactly the same.
But this time it died with the fuel pump still running obviously, whereas when fuel pump is powered normally by the car, it also stops when the car dies.
Have been thinking if something can be trapped in the fuel lines - but find it strange that it can start but not even stay running for more than 10 sec and that it behaves the same way - and if this was the case I would have thought the fuel pump kept running when it dies....
Thanks a lot for taking the time giving it some thoughts - at a total loss here
