I have an 89 chevy truck that starts but wont stay running. It is getting plenty of fuel, so I am ruling out the fuel pump and the fuel filter. The truck will start, run for about ten to fifteen seconds, then die as if the ignition was turned off. Even pumping the throttle wont keep it on. If anyone can help I am open to any suggestions you can give. Thanks
