Ok, so I put on a new fuel filter.  No gunk in the old filter and
problem still exists.  While thinking about fuel delivery problems I did
the IAADAAS test: I cranked the engine a number of times until it fired,
ran around dove under the car and grabbed the fuel pump, which was
humming.  The engine, as was expected, shut off just like someone turned
the key off, AFAICT, at exactly the same time as the fuel pump going
quiet.  Any chance my fuel pump is the problem?  Something turning my
fuel pump off for no good reason?  TIA.
