Default s70 starts and then dies

Hello there I am new to the forum

So my problem with my 98 s70 is that the car will start and then die a couple seconds later. I was discussing with my friend that the fuel pump may be out but I have no idea. it sounds like the car was choking out so I checked the intake and exhaust to make sure nothing was blocked up and all is clear. I am changing the plugs and wires to see if that will do anything to change the problem. My gut tells me that it might be an issue with the fuel pump. Anybody heard of this problem or dealt with it themselves?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

If it starts then it is getting fuel and spark. You need to pull codes.
