Starting Issue !?!

Hey everyone. My '96 has sat for awhile with a dead battery. Yesterday I bought a new battery and put it in. Car starts right up, runs for about a second and then dies. Fuel pump sounds fine. What gives??

Fuel pump is done....

How long is this second that you are talking about?

It's likely that your fuel pump has enough to charge the rail for a jiffy then not enough to supply the injectors while running...

Put a tester on your fuel rail...

My dad had the same issue. Would run for a min or two then die. Changed fuel pump and all is well now

It literally runs for a one-mississippi and then dies. And it doesn't stumble and die like if it were starving out and running lean it just shuts off. It acts as if I were simply turning the key back to off. I got into it and tore out the whole alarm system that it had, thinking that that would eliminate the possibility that the alarm system was killing it, but no luck. . .
