Engine wants to die when given gas

Theres a video of it at idle, 97 formula firebird

It starts up and runs fine for a few minutes and then wants to die when given any throttle. Not sure how to diagnose this

Will try that today. Hopefully it is the pump going out and not something more difficult

Change that out, if it has a short it could be giving the ecm bad readings.

On my 98 firebird the iat sensor was reading -196 degrees and it would miss as soon as I gave it throttle
