Default new fault

Was out in the car last night when i decided to stop playing!!
Started to rough idle about 500 rpm then up to 1000 then cut out.
Starts fine runs perfect for approx 3 secs then cuts out!


1 checked 12v supply at pump
2 put in place good fuel pump

Still the same,

Anyone got any ideas please!!
