It was warm out so I'd thought I'd try again after I had charged the battery. When it started to catch I knew it was getting fuel, but when I ran it for 5 to 10 mins the fuel filter filled with water. And than it all clicked.

I had to open the fuel door in the trunk and gained access to the tank, I lifted the car on the passenger side. To get the fuel closer to the opening. Than I used a 12v fuel transfer pump. Got all the fuel out of the tank. And seen that there was about 10 liters of water in about 40 liter of fuel.

I would say if having fuel issues, just get in the tank and check. I'd say if you think it had fuel than it cut it out quick or a brown liquid come out of injectors.

I put a new filter on and than found this out. Guess I'll change it again.
