My S2 just died
Driving along and it just died like the fuel had run out. I managed to start it again and 5 mins down the road done it again and couldn't start
I put a new fuel pump on not that long ago so is there anything I should be looking for other than the wiring to the pump??
Please help, thanks

Does it prime the pump when you turn the ignition on?
if not, it might be the relay under the dash,not sure of the relay colour though,
