[chris 16v]

help!!

when i start the car, the front off side indicator, side repeater and tail lights stay on, and the car ticks over really ruff, then stalls. if i rev it when it is running, i get a massive induction noise then it cuts out. i cant drive it anywhere cause it cuts out too qiukcly.the other stange thing is when the ignition is on , it reads the correct fuel amount, but when engine is running its reading completely empty.

Have a look here for an ECU.http://www.infinicar.com/http://www.infinicar.com/

it wasnt the ecu in the end!! i didnt change the ecu. but someone said it might be an earth problem. so i checked all the earths and checked the earth for the off side of the car, i found it in the rear off side lights!! and that is conected to the fuel pump, which is why i had problems getting it going!!!
