I hae been having a lot of issues with my rabbit. It was acting like the fuel filter was cloged up, so I have replaced 4 fuel filters. Well after the 4th filter my dad took it over and replaced the gas tank, fuel pump, all new fuel lines, hoses, clamps, and again a fuel filter. After all that was replaced he went to crank it and it die immediately. It does that everytime it starts, anyone have any ideas??

This was my gas tank

fuel pump relay more than likely.

run a wire all the way to the pump, give it 12 volts. and check.

check the fuel distributor, the warm up regulator, injectors, cold start valve and also for vacuum leaks.

No need to go that far. Just pull the fuel pump relay and insert a jumper wire where the two large terminals were.
