are you sure its the electrical system, cos with those symptoms it sounds like something else, electrical - works or it doesnt ( generally speaking ) so maybe diagnose it more, multimeter?

ok full story....
Fuel pump died, so I replaced it with new fuel filter, also the sending unit.
Didn't want to start but there's spark on the coil, leads, and the injectors were tested so thought its electrical problem fuel pump not working so I guessed its the fuel pump RELAY.
towed it to the mechanics they replaced the normal stuff for minor service like spark plugs, rotor, leads, etc.
at the end of the day they got it to start but wont stay running on so they told me they will get the electrician to have a look at it next day. The guy spent 4 hours and got it working, I asked the mechanic what he did but he wasnt sure what and told me something about bypassing the fuel relay.
Test drove the car and was driving fine, drove it home, didnt use it for 4 days and thought I might start her up cos dont want to wreck the engine for sitting there for few days.
So started her up started straight away, runs then stalls after few secs, tried re-starting the car again but no luck STARTS BUT WONT STAY RUNNING ON.
so I think its the same thing what the mechanic encountered that day and the electrician fixed it. I cant find any loose wiring connection.
Really dont wanna spend that much as the mechanic charged me $320 already.
