Well changed battery it starting but only for a few seconds then stoping revs and cutting out
Any ideas
 
Well basically my car brokedown last
Aa people came out said a need a new battery so just got a brand new bosh one! It starts up but quickly drops revs after a few seconds the cuts out
 
Yep, sounds like you're not getting fuel in the engine! Can you hear fuel pump humming when you turn the ignition on?
 
have any vacuum hoses come off/been eaten by rodents? check the whole engine bay! sorry to hear about the bad news just before Xmas mate :(
 
also, as much as I hate saying it, check the IACV, everyone seems to point to the IACV as soon as something goes wrong, but this genuinely sounds like it might be stuck!
 
OK, have you tried keeping the revs up or is it just the idle being so low the engine stalls? If you can keep the engine running by applying throttle it could be the IACV, if it stalls when you apply throttle fuel delivery is your problem.
 
Stalls as soon as a hit throttle a was on the red you recon it could be the problem?
 
dirty fuel,faulty alternator,dirty iacv and as said your fuel relay.Does your fuel pump prime when ignition goes on?
 
if you ran it into the red it could of sucked some s**t up, try putting some fuel in and some injector cleaner

also have you checked the spark plugs?? dont want to put the willys up you but if you was running out of fuel it could of run lean and damaged a plug????
