NEED HELP!.. My step son was driving this car around with no problems.. It turned off on him. Now it will start.. But it cuts off after just seconds. I think it could be the fuel pump. I pump the gas pedal (rev it up) to TRY and keep it running, but it just cuts off. I need advice I have to many kids to count and just want to get this thing running again.. I'm a do it yourselfer and if there are several inexpensive things I could try, let me know...

Best test is to connect a fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve on the fuel rail. The freebee is to check the driver's side ground bus for corrosion.
