    OK, So I pull out of the garage, go one block and motor coughs, sputters and dies. Try to restart and will just run a few seconds. I displayed the codes and get P1353(rear cyl.no combustion) and P1356(front cyl.no combustion). seems to me like it's not getting gas. Any ideas out there??

    Sounds like a bad coil to me. I assume you're getting gas to the cylinders.

    I seem to remember pin holes in the fuel line in the tank having holes like HRK said. Full tank no problem cause holes covered.

    Try taking the gas cap off...listen for the pump to prime when you turn on ignition... If tank is low on fuel,listen for hiss sound of gas spraying from fuel line pin holes...
    If you hear the pump prime and no gas spraying in the tank,try starting it with the gas cap off...

    Yup, tried all that fuel line stuff. As I said it will start, run a few secs then die, just like it's out of gas. Well, Indy came and got it. $$$$$:wtf:

    Hope it's something easily fixed and not too costly, Charlie.

    Hoping it's the gas filter. On the pump,inside the tank.

    any time you think you have a fuel problem the easy way to test if you don't have a fuel pressure gauge handy . pull the air cleaner get a can of carb cleaner give it a squirt and fire it then continue to squirt while its running see if she continues to run . rules out any other problems like a crank sensor or coil . might be your getting a prime circuit during start up but ecm is not grounding the fuel pump relay after it starts . could be as simple as a bad hose or wore out pump fuel pressure test will rule it out . quick disconnect fitting at tank has a check valve in it could cause a problem aswell
