Default HELP fueling problems

I have a 1990 escort bonus 90 with a s1 rs turbo lump in!
Broke down on the way to work this morning was crusing along when the engine just cut out and would not go again!
Ive got a very good spark and can smell fuel and the car willrun for 3-4 seconds and then cut out so the fuel pump is priming but not switchin over to constant! But cannot hear the pump like usual...onlything i have done different lately is fitted a new exhaust last night but cant see that being a problem at all!! Can anyone help please?? Cheers
