Check the fuel lines for holes, the ones under the air filter.
Pump the primer bulb, if you see bubbles, that's air in the lines.

Not that can be seen, and i have a `1.4 hdi and that sometimes has small bubbles in and doesn't affect the running of it at all.
It almost as if the fuel is being instantly shut off, it doesn't misfire it just dies.
the fault is something to do with the pump constantly priming, it shouldn't. When running the fuel pressure is absolutely fine. It seems most likely now that the problem is ecu based

Once the tank pump in the rest is primed it will stop, but when the engine is started it will keep running. There should be no air in the fuel lines at all. On the 1.4 it's usually the lines that run around the battery that rub letting air in. Tbh it sounds like air in the system somewhere.
