Default Car starts but won’t run

Hey guys appreciate all the input. So cars been running fine. Go out to start it and it starts and idles about two seconds then dies. Did this several times. Yes it has gas in it. It’s an 09 Z06. Sooo what would you start checking ? Thanks.

Yes grounds have been checked. It sounds fuel related. What’s the odds a pump would go out?

It's fuel, spark or air, you check your plug wires? Coil packs? All sensors plugged in? Especially maf

Check your fuel pressure too. Connect a gauge and see what's going on when the cars starts and then dies.

Also might be a good idea to hook up your Tech 2 and look at what the cam & crank sensors are up to when it's cranking.

Good luck, let us know what you find out.

So I go out today and it starts and runs fine. No idea if this has anything to do with it. Yesterday when I went out to start it, I didn’t have the fob with me. Went to get the fob and that’s when it would start and die. Did this have something to do with the anti theft system?
