car fuel question

[savageman25]

Got a rover (yes i no) siting up my mates place that i tried to get going for him as it hadnt been run for ages so after a while i got the engine to fire up, thing is though is that it only runs for about a second thenit stops, if i try to start it again all it does is keep on firieng but not actuallly starting, it runs ok if i pour fuel into the air in take as all that does is bypass the injecion system and goes straight into the intak manifold but even then it only runs for about half a minute or so, the fuel pumps pumping fuel and none of the pipes are blocked but it just wont go, which leads me to believe theres somthing wrong with the injectors somewhere.
Help

sorry i forgot to mention that the tank was empty when i first tried starting it so ive put £15 worth of new fuel into it too see if it will go.

Is the key fob working ok? you have to press the unlock button to dissarm the immobiliser before starting, blinking red light in middle of speedo cluster.

have you checked the fuse for the fuel pump
