When you start it does it just die now?

Was it just that one time or does it do it every time?

Hmmm.... I was going to suggest a TPS issue before you mentioned it starts and idles fine. Might be worth it to check out the TPS anyway, they like to do weird stuff.

That wouldn't be a bad idea. My friends car had a similar problem, he would redline it and then put it in neutral and the car would die. Turned out he had an injector that would get stuck and flood the motor.

If the motor was flooded after it died I would take a look at your injectors.

the strainer is attached to your fuel pump. it lets only fuel go through the pump.

that might be clogged up as someone was tryin to say above, go through your trunk area and check the strainer to see if it looks like fuel can flow through it.

check your dashpot on the TB. It makes sure throttle plates don't shut abruptly when you let of the throttle. Also calibrate your TPS and make sure there are no vacuum leaks.
