I have a Buick Regal, and I recently had to replace the battery. After I did so I started the car up to find out that it would quickly die. The engine would run for maybe 1-2 seconds before it would just shut its self off. I wonder if it is a Fuel Pump issue or if there is something else that I may need to check out. Thanks for your time. Also do you think that changing the battery could have something to do with it?

Could be a fuel pressure issue, or even a alternator issue, I'll send you some links to help you test these out.

I would also check the mass airflow sensor and make sure you have a clean air filter and breather

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
