Well to be captain obvious, it's likely fuel if it will start and die when you rev it, check fuel pump, check fuel filter, check fuel pressure to start with.

the prime relay is working as it fires , the second relay for running is not working by the sounds of it as it wont run or rev, to bypass the fuel relays etc take a live wire from battery to fuel pump connector under back seat on drivers side . if pump primes car starts and then continues to run its the running part of your fuel pump relay thats shot

Coil packs!

Strange one, I would have said its 100% the fuel pump as I have had this issue, remove the seats , take the pump out and look to see that the hose is not split or kinked. If it starts for 1 second then dies and start every time , just the same its fuel pressure.

or just take the fuel line of the filter use a can and crank it over

brentals

just checked timing and its spot on,used fuel pipe from the filter in to a can and primed with loads of fuel and while cranking got loads of fuel,also changed coolent temp senser wwith no difference help help help im losing the will to live.
