1996 Infiniti I30 starts but won't stay on!!!

[mikefromchicago]

I sat in my car for about 2 hours with the radio on while I was very low on gas. I proceeded to jump the car and put gas in. The car will start but when I give it gas it feels and sounds like it's now reaching the engine. It put puts. I thought it might have been the fuel pump because I had been riding on E lately but I just spent $170.00 on a new one and I still have the same problem. Any help I could find would be greatly appreciated....... PS I was searching online if I could find a free service manual to look at for the car if anyone knew of where to get this it would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance....

- When ign is turned ON, fuel pump starts (noise) and fuel pressure goes up (fuel hose stiffens). This must be (?) happening IF the engine (?) keeps idling...

- Check out all fuses (measure, use 10$ multimeter). Lots of relays: one of them may be bad or have oxidized connections... pull out, pull/push down and/or swap (they are color coded, same color fits).

- Check batt voltage when engine OFF, then start, now measure when idling. What are the readings?

- Sounds like MAF and/or connectors is bad. However, without mileage/ service history its impossible to say whatsthematter ... dying plugs, coilpacks, rpm sensor, TPS etc
