Right need abit of advice as most people are stumped about this, the car only runs (ok) when the battery light comes on ( new battery ) I have to rev to a high rpm for this to happen, half way through my journy I get a strong wiff of petrol, not checked fuel lines yet, just replaced fuel filter still the same, the engine management light is on, petrol is reading empty when driving , half when stood in traffic?

Will give it a go.
jump lead, clip it onto the top of the engine, like the inlet mani, and direct to the EARTH side of the battery.
