That my friend is most likely your fuel pump... like you stated it sounds and acts like it is running out of fuel... well even with a full fuel tank the engine is technically running out of fuel

    Alright then there is only one more thing that it can be and that is your crank sensor. That is located behind your harmonic balancer. This tell the engine what position the crank is at so your computer knows when the correct cylinder should spark

2003 nissan sentra se-r spec v heard a pop now wont stay started

Sounds like a fuel supply problem. The fact that it does momentarily start, indicates its not an electrical issue. However, no steady fuel supply to the injectors and it won't run for more than a second or tow. Your problem is in the fuel delivery system most likely. Either the pump, or (if the unit is located in the fuel tank) the fuel filter may have ruptured. That would sent all the fuel back to the fuel tank not to the injectors.

97 f350 5.8 disconnected fuel line from tanks to inline filter turn on key pump runs momentarily then shuts off only supplying small amount of fuel from either tanks

Generally speaking, its supposed to do that.
The fuel pump(s) is powered by a relay that turns on for 3 seconds when you turn the key on. If the engine does not start and produce oil pressure, thats all the power the pump gets. If you were in a wreck the pump would shut off when the engine dies even with the key on to prevent a fire.
You would need to jumper the relay to make the pump run beyond the 3 second time.

Whats wrng with my 97 jeep grand cherokee it died and wnt start bak up it turns over but acts like not getting gas. I sprayed starter fluid and it started a sec thn died.

It is not getting gas. Could be bad fuel pump,and most are now in the fuel tank.If it is the fuel pump and it is in the tank,this can be a fairly major expense.($400-$500)This is not an unusual problem,and many auto repair shops can do it.

Starts runs then begins to die under acceleration.

First step, see what it looses, fuel or spark!
