Engine Mechanical problem
1987 Pontiac Trans Am V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When you put the key in to start it one of the radiator fans comes on automatic and the cars engine will start fine run a few seconds and switch off. When you try to easy the gas pedal the motor will back fire in the intake and switch off. The car had been running fine up to this point and then it started doing this. I changed the fuel filter and its getting fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

I'd have to use a gage and check fuel pressure. Any applicable mil codes? timing issue?
