Default Car won't stay on....no acceleration either

If I put some gas in the tb it starts but won't stay on.
I changed the injectors...same prob, then changed complete TB...same shiiit.
I'm thinking the main relay is dead......anyone knows what might be.

Main relay replacement is about $55 and one bolt. Replace it and it will resolve your issue. Sorry to hear that you spent all that money on the injectors. In most cases the relay goes bad before the injectors. You can also open the relay and look for discoloration, if discolored it is probably bad. $55 will solve your problem.

Good luck,
Dave

i vote fuel pump or fuel filter. when you say you have sufficient pressure do you mean it's spraying out like strong or just coming out? loosen the bolt at the fuel rail and turn the key on fuel should spray out like a shook up soda. if not then do th same at the filter's in hose. if you have spray there and not at the rail it's probably the filter. if no spray at the filter it's probably the pump or a blockage in the line.
