Default Won't keep running

Friends,
I have a 1994 Corvette with the LT1 engine. It has always started quickly. Last year I noticed that if I drove it somewhere and shut it off it would not fire up immediately when I returned to start it. I assumed the only different was that it was warmed up, but it would start after turning over a few times. This year it will not keep running. If I turn on the ignition for a second or two before hitting the starter, it will run for a couple seconds, then shut off. It keeps doing this when I try several times. Is it the fuel pump or fuel filter? I filled it with 91 octane before putting it up last year.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly!
Greg

Hard to provide an answer until you take the first step, which is checking fuel pressure upon the key being turned to on and how long that pressure holds.
