told to bleed the fuel system from filter then all the way to the injectors, check the lift solenoid is working by taking the wire off and checking it clicks

is there any splits in the injector leak off pipes, also is there a good seal around the fuel filter. Lastly however i supect i'm wrong are the elbows ontop of the tank in good order with no splits,or cracks?

OK. Could it be the ignition switch. Sounds daft I know but they do suffer from failure. The reason I state this is that you turn the key and it starts but then stops, presumably when you release the key.

Could be the fuel cut off solenoid. Have you checked that power is getting to it when the ignition is on.

Afraid that's all I can offer in terms of ideas.

see what green hornet is saying. basicly the contacts in the ing switch could be iffy. so the fuel stop is opening when ing is on, but when you turn to start and release it could be going to far back and turn the fuel stop off again. So when you start the engine have a volt meter hooked up to the fuel stop and look at the reading. Once the engine fires and you allow the key to spring back a click look at the reading again, if the voltage drops to 0 then you know that the ing switch is cutting the fuel stop off.

All I can think is that the cause is any changes you made since it last run.
If you have the old parts try refitting them, one at a time, and see if there is any improvement.
New parts can be faulty

Yea I'm going to try a new fuel filter and re bleed the system again, as will try testing the fuel ing switch to see if it shutting it off when let good the key.
