Sounds like a possible vacum leak. Check all the hoses and intake path.

When you get it started, try giving it some gas and see if that keeps it running. NOTE: Don't give it gas WHILE cranking it over, only after it's running on it's own.

Try to keep the engine running for a while and see if the problem gets better. If not, start checking for vacuum leaks, adjust your tps, test your BAC for starters.

its in the fuel tank, all you have to do is lift up the carpet in the back deck and you see a large metal plate just undo it and it will reveal the location of the pump, so you can check it by disconnecting the send line and see if it squirts, and then if you wanan take it out to investigate more you can break it down into pieces and test the motor of the pump indivdually. but probablly if your good with mechanical stuff

Heck, just jumper the 2-prong yellow plug near the right side strut tower in the engine bay, and turn the key on...Go back there and listen for the pump running...

i tried that but for some reason the pump is very quiet thats why i opted for just undoing the send line to see if it squirts
