2005 Bentley Continental stalls

Very consistently stalling after 20 to 30 seconds. Will start right up and stall out 30 seconds later. Not misfiring or anything. Do I try a fuel filter?

Please help I live in Southwest Oregon and the nearest Bentley is Seattle seven hours north. Does somebody know him that works on these? I just bought it 90 days ago.

A lot of faults because after 72 hours or so battery goes dead, so no communication to a lot of modules sorry about those.

P1939, p2279

Oil dipstick tube is broken. Going to put gorilla tape on it to see if it takes care of faults and stalling. Will large vacuum leak cause stalling?

sounds like fuel pump issue (or electrics / check relays)

when car is started it is feed by fuel from both pumps, after a while it switches to one pump (probably the dead one you have) thats why your car stops

+1 with @sazam , sounds like main fuel pump.

You guys are good

Thank you very very very much. My car is fixed. The driver side fuel pump was out. I got a used one from the junkyard. Unfortunately the fuel sender looks to be bad. It’s not reading on the instrument cluster but cars running thank you.
