Car dies after 15-20 seconds.

I was recently driving my turbo II when it shut off as i shifting into third. All electrical things were still working. The car barely starts and without my fuel cutoff switch i probably couldn't have limped it home. Right before it dies it makes two clicking noises coming presumably from the back.

any ideas?

what is barely starting?

You don't have enough details for us to help you.

Is it idling? Is it out of fuel? Is it just stalling? how are you using the fuel cut off switch to make it run?

And your bump has been deleted... bumps are forbidden here.

It wont start unless I cut the fuel crank it and turn the fuel back on once it starts to turn over.
leaving the fuel on and cranking it does nothing.

It does idle and drive normally for the very short time it stays on. It doesn't just stall and die out very quickly. It makes two clicking noises and after that the gas pedal does not work and the revs slowly drop until it's off.

thanks in advance

After letting the car sit for a day it wont turn on no matter how i play with the cut off switch.
