2nd Generation Engine starts but won't keep running?

The car starts everytime and will run for about 15 seconds then stalls, somehow the fuel is getting cut off. The engine starts well with no smoke. Any ideas on whats causing this. This is a car I'm aquireing. Will be my second MR2 turbo, I'm just curious what would be causing this.

Are you sure it's the fuel being cut ? Sounds like a leak. Check all hoses after the AFM all the way to the throttle body inlet.
