    it revs off the key, if u keep the key turned it runs for longer, dont think it has a fuel filter actually and it has a vl bosch pump on it, its working but doesnt sound like its pickn up fuel, it aint making that sound that they usually make

    holding the key wont help it will just flood the system, check the fuel filter, fuel pump, take the injectors out and see if any of them are clogged, bash the fuel tank near where the lines come out cause a layer of rust can peel up and block most of the pick up.

    I'd be leanin towards fuel pump since the engine can suck a bit of fuel when its cranking but not enough to actually run.

    and put a fuel filter on, there like 5 bucks and can save you from ####ing your engine.
