1992 GMC K1500 Starts then dies

I'm working on my brothers 1992 GMC Z71 K1500 v8 5.7liter truck start it, it runs for few seconds then dies. I've replaced cap, rotor, injectors, fuel filter, ignition control module,ignition coil, plugs and wires and it still doing it. So does anyone have any ideas what else i can try, like how to change the pickup coil?

I saw what you replaced, didn't see any testing? Any applicable trouble codes? Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, TBI--9--13 psi. As an example, 5 psi fuel pressure makes a nice looking injector spray pattern, but, 5 psi won't start and run a v8. My opinion.
Could be other issues.

It acts like it wants to start but won't actually stay running...... Dies after a few seconds.

hi.

this is because the engine starts running when you press start button using the starting motor.

so it reaches its required speed fuel is been injected. you say it jus starts and dies in few seconds

following may be the reason
1.fuel is not coming to the fuel injector so no firing.
2.timing belt is not set properlly
3.speed sensor is not working properly so it doesnt activate the fuel injection.
