1990 240 starts, then immediately shuts off 200

Hello, I have a 1990 240 with a bizarre issue. Today, it was treated to a new water pump. Started fine, ran with no problems. Took it out on the highway, and after about 45 minutes, the SRS light came on, and the dash lights dimmed some. I pulled into a gas station and shut it off. It wouldn't restart--battery dead. Because it was an old battery, I put in a brand new one while still at the gas station. Now, it turns over great and fires, but shuts off immediately after starting. It's as though the fuel pump is cutting it off, and right away. Also, if I hold the gas pedal down some while cranking it over and starting it, it'll run ok. But as soon as I let up, it dies.So it will stay at the gas station until it can get--and stay--going.
I'm not mechanically disinclined, and have a fair bit of previous 240/740 experience, but this one is new.

Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks!!!!
