Default 94 Camaro Sputtering out

Hi I have a 94 Camaro z28 automatic, It has good compression, It has good fuel pressure and spark, It starts right up no problem but only runs for about a second or two then shuts off, It does it consistently every time. I have looked online, I put dry gas in it already, its not the computer, the fuel pump is good and if the fuel filter was clogged wouldn't my fuel pressure be bad. I can rev it up but after a second or two it just sputters out, almost like its out of gas. Because of the consistency I think it is a sensor that is telling the computer to cut the ignition. If you have any ideas let me know, thanks.

It really happens too fast to know, the oil pressure goes up then drops once it sputters out so it is kind of hard to get a good reading.

no I don't have a code scanner, I may be able to borrow one sometime soon but I was hoping to find someone who had this problem already and try what they did.

And the fuel pressure stays high as far as I know, I had a truck that had a bad fuel pump and the pressure would be good while running but once you turned it off the pressure would die, could a bad fuel pump be that consistent, because every time it shuts off after 2 seconds.
