Default Starts then dies

99 Trans Am. I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. Cara starts then dies immediately. Sometimes if I’m quick enough and hit the throttle it will stay running til I let my foot off the throttle. I cleaned the throttle body. No codes. Any help will be apperciated

The more info you provide, the more help people can give. For example, what caused you to replace the fuel pump and filter, and what were they replaced with?

Did this issue appear after making any changes to the car? Do you have a scan tool to check IAC counts?

Before I replaced pump/filter it would turn over and not start. After it starts then dies. I don’t have a scanner than can check IAC counts
