My SVX starts up, goes briefly then stalls out .. fuel related?

Looking for advice on this..I'm guessing either I've got a badly blocked fuel filter, or it's time for a new fuel pump. After the car stalls it won't restart again until it sits for a while. Then it will start again and only go a bit. Has anyone run into this?

I'd start with the fuel filter easy access and only about $20

Does it idle rough before it dies or is it like if someone 'pulled the plug'? Have you checked your MAF?

Re: My SVX starts up, goes briefly then stalls out .. fuel related?

Thanks for the input and suggestions. I started with replacing the fuel filter and the car started right up (sort of as usual) and ran. So I ruled out anything on the pump side. I let it idle a while then it shut down. Here's the root cause...it was a bad battery. I've never had a battery situation where it would start the car, then run, and then basically just drop down on the voltage enough that the car just quits. I will check the alternator as my next step in the process. Thanks for the help.
