The wife was driving the car home from work. She got to work just fine this morning. As she was at a light to turn from one road to another, the car died. Now whenever it is started, it sputters up to ~1000RPM, then sputters out. If I get it started, then rev it up (for example) to 2500RPM, it will sound ok and hold there for a second, then die anyway. I could do this all night long with no change.
There are no codes, no lights, no gauges reading out of place. I checked all of the vacuum lines I could see, and they look fine. I checked over all of the connections I could find, and they were all good. I disconnected the MAF sensor, but no change. I dropped both serpentine belts, but no change. I would check the fuel pressure, but some freak thought a strange fitting on the fuel rail was a good idea. The plugs and wires are recently new, and the wires look fine. My first instinct is the fuel pump is dying, but do not want to fight with replacing it to find out I am wrong. I need ideas, and need them quick.
but if you are sure it is not that then go by a autozone. The gauge is not expensive and will screw directly on the the schader valve 
make sure it is for a fuel injected car and reads over 50Psi as that is what it should be around at idle. good luck mabe other people will have some ideas on how to trouble shoot this.
