Ford Fiesta car starts and cuts out after 2-5seconds

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The car starts absolutely fine then cuts out, I've changed the coil pack wich is what I was told by the seller but this hasn't solved it...car won't idle and won't stay started even with high revs, low revs ect. Any help would be really appreciated

Your Battery is so flat that the alternator can not run all your stuff and provide a spark you may need to recharge the battery or better still replace it

I'd suggest checking out the fuel pump - sounds like it could be on the way out.
If it's an in-tank one, you should hear it spin up when the ignition goes on, and continue while the engine uses fuel. Expect it to stop after a second or two if the engine isn't running.
