75 Manta with efi. Starts and runs for 1 second and then dies out.
40 Pounds fuel pressure at cold start injector.
Ignition etc good- ran a jumper from battery to + side of coil to make sure it wasn't the ignition switch
Al sensors are new as is the mass air flow sensor.
checked all connections
tried a different ecu unit

Still starts right up and runs for a second and then just dies out. Stepping on gas pedal makes no difference.

I am still going to check the green wire to the coil to the ecu for continuity.
Other than that I'm stumped.

It seems like it is not getting fuel once the initial start up is complete. Plugs are dry and not wet with gas.
I made sure the air flap in the mass air sensor was not stuck.
Any ideas (other than putting a Weber on it)
