I Need Help!!! 200 87

Here's my problem-I'm stumped. My '87 245 quit on my wife today. Luckily she was in a parking lot, so she was safe. The car starts fine, but almost immediately cuts out. It doesn't hesitate at all when starting, but I can't even apply the gas--it idles for maybe half a second, then cuts out. Occasionally, when I apply the gas when starting, it will rev in response to the gas, but then it cuts out. Other times, I depress the pedal and nothing happens, the car just dies. This isn't sudden--the car has been starting pretty rough lately--it usually needs 5 minutes or so to warm up and get going, and it usually stalled after the first start, but ran fine afterward. Is this my fuel injectors? Or a fuel pump issue? I can't figure it out--I've never had anything like this happen. Please offer any advice you can! Thanks!
