Engine starts then dies

Hello all,

My 2004 ford ranger 4.0 4*4 engine will start great, as it has a brand new battery, but then after a second or two it dies as if it was out of gas, but its not.

Which do you guys think it is: the computer, or the fuel pump?

Thanx to anybody who replies :)

Larry

Sounds like a really bad vacuum leak to me.
