Will not stay running?

Hi,

Has the battery been replaced?

If it hasn't, that should be done.

Now, the idea that it starts when you manually pour fuel into the engine tells me the fuel pump is likely not working properly or at all. Take a look through this link. It describes how to test fuel pressure.

Now, this vehicle has an inertia switch which is a fuel cut off. When a sharp impact occurs, the engine will quit running within a few seconds after the fuel pump loses power. The inertia switch must then be manually reset before the engine can be restarted.

The switch is located in the luggage compartment. It can be reset, so you may want to try that. I attached a pic of what it looks like below. Try that if you haven't and see if that helps.

Let me know.
