After it starting it all winter. I put in fresh gas (tank was empty). Jumped the battery, it started 1st try, idled a little rough for about 4 seconds then died. 2nd time same thing. It idle was smoother. Ever since, it'll run perfectly for less than 5 secs and die no matter how much throttle input. I've never messed with the fuel pumps except for that keep alive wire from the coil coming loose. I hear the pump come on when I key the ignition, after the engine quits, the pump runs for another second. Any ideas? Also power steering reservoir's dry. No leaks on the floor. Does that stuff evaporate?
