Are you sure the fuel pump is staying running? Are you sure the injectors aren't clogged?
Try jumping the fuel pump on, and start the car. See if it will run like that. Usually when they go bad, they run for a few minutes, then die.

i agree fuel pump..... mine was going out for a while and the car ran fine as long as i had high rpm as soon as i came out of it the car cut off like no fuel sure enough the pump would work til it got a lil warm like a quarter mile then the car would die.
so i agree a 104$ bosch turbine pump would suit you
