Default Fuel Pump/ Filter issues???

Last night my 97 Gst ran fine. This morning...not so much. The bugger wouldn't start. IT turns over fine, and actually catches. however, after a few seconds of running extremely rough it just dies. if I let it sit for a few minutes the whole process can be repeated. My first guess is fuel related. can anyone second that?

Try spaying 2+2 into the intake and see if it runs.

if its frozen fuel lines you can try pouring some heet into the tank. Its fuel line antifreeze. So if thats the problem it should take care of it
