Won't run again, or just won't idle again ?
There's no need to pump the gas on a fuel injected motor, since there's no accelerator pump. If it needs more fuel to start, you can just give it a bit more pedal, and hold it steady. If it will start and run like that, but just not idle, it could be an old battery or a problem with the charging system. When the PCM sees low voltage, loss of idle memory is often the first symptom.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Possible -leaking injector ?
Check pressure on fuel rail with engine off.
Should 'spray' out of it .
If nothing = leaking injector
