Help! 98 1500 not starting/stalling out

[Briank46]

I have a 98 1500 with the 5.2 Magnum. Was coming home from work and accelerating from a stop sign, engine began to stall. Eventually the engine quit and after 5 minutes of letting it sit I went to turn it over again.. it started, but cut out after 10s. Waited another 5min while taking off the gas cap and checked the air filter, the truck cranked but no start. Help please.

1)
Check for codes.

2)
Remove the gas cap.
Put your ear to the fill hole.
Have someone turn the key on to run (do not crank)
Can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds?

3)
Check to see if it has spark coming from the coil.

Re:
I went to start it this morning, I’ve got spark and the fuel pump was activating. Got it started but the only thing keeping it going was holding the accelerator. Afterwords, it idled fine and ran/drove like new all day.
