Default car still not running....

heres the deal the car starts up pretty good runs for a few seconds then dies....can't get it to keep running at all...
it's not the fuel pump nor the FP relay since I can hear the FP before and after the car starts...
I just changed teh Distributor cap, and rotor AFTER this problem since I thought that might help it....it didn't other then letting it start quicker...lol
any other ideas of what it may be?

I'm stumped...

Default Slaps head in disgust....found what was wrong...heres the storty

this all started when I was installing my stereo with amps and stuff like that one day...I ended up blowing a fuse and looked in the fuse panel...saw a "spare" fuse sitting along the side of the rest...figured hell thats cool...took it and replaced the blown fuse.

well I found this article and read through a bit
http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/tuning-cise.htm#a

it then told me...it's not a spare fuse after all...so I went removed a non essential 10a fuse from the cig lighter...poped it BACK into this "spare" fuse place....low and behold the car fired up, runs great, took it out for a good 30min run to make sure...

man I've been without the car for a week all becasue of a stupid fuse!!!!!
