Mileage is km, not miles.

Car will start but fuel pressure will drop to zero and car will stall. If I turn the key off and wait at least 60 seconds, the fuel pump will start and pressurize the system and I can start it again, but the fuel pressure will drop again. Is that the fuel pump or could it be something else?

Before I took the car off the road, the car would run for several minutes (10-15 minutes, sometimes less) before it would stall and I'd have to wait at least 60 seconds to start it.
