Arrow Car starts then dies

2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 starts then dies a couple seconds later. Does not throw codes and security light is not flashing or staying on. I'm leaning towards the fuel pump or something fuel related. I've already swapped around fuses and nothing. Would I be able to use a fuel pressure gauge on a car that dies almost instantly and does not idle? Hoping to bounce ideas off of anyone that has any.

Did you swap the ignition relay with the fan relay, and swap the fuel pump relay with a fog light relay.

Next step would be to rent the fuel pressure tester tool from an autoparts store to hook on the end of the fuel rail. I'm also suspecting you will see low fuel pressure
