Vaux Astra G 1999 1600 X16SZR - Engine starts then dies after a few seconds Archived Message

Engine starts then dies after a few seconds,when it dies the fuel pump relay is active and the pump is drawing 4 amps,the pressure is approx 0.7 bar,the spark and fuel injection signal are fine.I can make
it run by squirting fuel into the throttle body and I can see the fuel injector dry up when it dies.I also checked fuel injector current when it dies and it is approx 4.3 amps.I suspect a fuel flow problem,
any ideas?
