Car won't stay running, stalls under throttle
Fellas,
I’m driving my Trans Am home and she starts to buck and hesitate at highway speed. I thought nothing of it. I exit the highway, she bucks pings and stalls. I look at the gas gauge and I’m a little past half. I tried starting it, nothing. I push her to gas station and fill her up and try again…nothing. Still sounds like she’* out of gas.
I tow her home. Throw on the ODB Scanner, no codes. I take apart and clean the MAF sensor and check the connections and pour some fuel injector cleaner in and try to start her again. Ran for half a minute and died, without throttle. I try again feather the throttle and get a little response but once I lay on the gas she quits. I have 13 thousand miles on this car and I don’t beat up on it.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice.
I replaced the fuel pump and filter and she'* running again. Lesson learned, drive the car more and stay away from cheap no name gas stations.
