Engine Dying but starts right back up... then dies...

It a 1985 302 with fuel injection. Dueal tanks... I've replaced 2 inline fuel filters and that didn't help.

It acts like it just runs out of gas... sputters quickly then dies.

Any idea where to look next?

It dies whether or not I switch tanks. Is it possible it is the high pressure fuel pump? At $99, I'd like to not have to guess.

Check the idle air sensor. Does it run alright once you get going? Or can you not even get going?

I can't keep it going no matter what I do. I try pumping the gas, holding it at high rev... still dies after a few seconds.
