While it does seem like a fuel issue, odd that it runs about 30 seconds before dying. You would expect the with a faulty fuel pump, it should die well before 30 seconds.

At a guess, you do not have a fuel pump failure, but rather an obstructed fuel pickup. Others have reported failure of the inlet sock.

An inexpensive fuel pressure tester may be a valuable tool in this case. Far better to spend $40 and verify diminished fuel pressure vs gaining access to the top of the tank, and removing the fuel pump assembly. You would need to check your maintenance manual, but thought the tank must be removed out the bottom to access the fuel pump. Double check though as I could be wrong.
Hi, my wife has a 2023 RTL that has 15 k miles and the engine stalls after about an hour of stop & go on the traffic lights, lf she doesn’t you hold the throttle it stalls, on the highway it’s ok ?
dealer changed the fuel pump, now BRP saying it’s the purge valve
