Wont keep runnin

Everytime i start up my trans am, it will run for like ten seconds but then it decides to cut off. And if i put any gas too it it just sputters and cuts off. some people have told me that it probably is the fuel pump, anyone else got any ideas?

it probable is the fuel pump, you can check it by putting a fuel pressure tester on it, being that yours is tbi it should be between 7-14psi.
