It ran when I parked it, notsomuch now

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on where to start. I parked my trans am last fall and started it once back in mid december, at which point it ran fine. Now today I popped the battery back in, charged it up, and went to start it. itll fire fine, runs for about 3 seconds, then cuts out, I cant even throttle it to keep it going. I can then fire it back up and itll do the same thing over and over.

Any ideas?

How's the fuel pressure? Have you checked for adequate spark?

X2 on bad gas, or possibly fuel pump relay.
