I have an ef that when you try to start it, it will run for about a second then cough and die. so i have checked out the fuel pump and it seems that it pumps for a second or two when the ingnition is switched on but when the car cranks/runs the pump does nothing and that's why it stalls. does anybody know what would cause this or where i should look? any help is appreciated.

never mind -problem solved

care to share? might help someone else
