just bought 2 days ago. Has been running great..until now. I parked it this afternoon and now it will not run. Turns over runs for a split second then dies. Sounds like not getting fuel. Any suggestions
Update-it did strat fine this morning. Now not starting again. Checked fuse, cut off switch, and new filter put on,pump seemed to work this morning-now not working again.

Turn the key to the accessory and see if your getting fuel pressure from the schrader valve. If you aren't getting fuel pressure, the fuel should quit spitting out after about 10 seconds.
If no fuel pressure, check fuel pump fuse in the PDB.
If fuse checks out fine, probably the fuel pump. If you replace it yourself, theres a how-to on contour.org on how to replace it.
