Installed new battery and let car run for 10 minutes. Pushed throttle and car shut off immediately. Tried to restart the car and it would turn over but wouldn't start!

Thank you!

It sounds like the fuel pump went out, but to be sure let's do a fuel pressure check, you can rent to gauge at the local auto parts store for cheap or free. Here is a guide to help walk you through the process and I have included instructions in the images below for your car.

We should run the codes as well.
