Default Car Wont Start

Okay, so my car has almost half a tank, and i try to start it, it turns over but dies right away, new battery, and it started this morning and it wasnt plugged in, so i dont think the cold has anything to do with it. The only time this happened was when my car was low on fuel and the problem was corrected when i added gas. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, 91 automatic cx

fuel filter or the fuel pump is probably going out.

turn the key to the on position. you should hear a whirr noise behind the drivers seat under the back seat. that's the fuel pump priming pressure to the fuel system. if you don't hear it than it's gone bad. the fuel filter i would just go ahead and replace. they are cheap. it's in the engine bay on the firewall.
