Acts like it is running out of fuel, check engine comes on, but then goes off. No obvious reason

check the reason for the engine light coming on as it is serious and not to be ignored. Run fault codes.

Have you not checked fuel pressure
or done one of about four or five fuel
pump tests

Talking about it, won't resolve the issue

You will need to check the connector to the fuel tank, this sounds like a poor connection not a short, if it was a short a fuse would blow.

If the light is on, a code is stored. Get the code read. Then post it. Guessing which code is stored is a waste of time.

You need to catch your engine light on and take it to Autozone to get a code. This may let you know where the problem is located at. They test them for free. If you can't, it might be your fuel injectors possibly. Your best bet, is getting the code. You may have a bad sensor or plugs/coils.

Hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the schraeder valve, and then operate the vehicle. I'll bet you will see a corolation between the performance and the fuel pressure. This would indicate a failing fuel pump.

hi.

this is because the engine starts running when you press start button using the starting motor.

so it reaches its required speed fuel is been injected. you say it jus starts and dies in few seconds

following may be the reason
1.fuel is not coming to the fuel injector so no firing.
2.timing belt is not set properlly
3.speed sensor is not working properly so it doesnt activate the fuel injection.

fuel pump probably defective.. it's inside the gas tank

One reason for that light to come on is that the gas cap is not on correctly or has become defective.

any trouble codes? what is the fuel pressure reading at the test port on the top of the engine?
