1998 Oldsmobile Achieva 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My car was running fine until a few days ago we went to start it and it would run for a second or less and then die. Thought it might be the fuel pump or filter but changed the filter and checked the fuel pressure and it was 42psi. What else could be causing this?

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked the crank sensor? Have you checked to see if it is losing spark when it dies?
