needed gas But after I put gas it's still did it I got it
home tried to start it again and it wouldn't start I
change the fuel pump and then it turned on but
turns right off and still sputters Anyone have an
idea of what it could be

I have had the same problem two different times with my 2004. Both times it was a loss of compression in the rotors. Have your technician measure compression in both rotor chambers. The apex seals have probably worn out and an engine rebuild or replacement needs to be done.
