Engine starts but dies right away!

I have and 86 Z28 TPI. I drove the car a couple of days ago to test the brakes and it ran fine, however yesterday I went to start it and it started up idled for about 5 seconds then died. When I tried to start it again it would not start at all. So today I went to start it and it fired up and idled for about 5 seconds then died and would not start again. I'm thinking fuel pump. Any other suggestions?

Putting a pressure gauge on the fuel line and doing the tests is the only way you are going to know
