You have a different problem then. Sounds liek it stalls when you accelerate or decelerate. I would check the componets of the cise to make sure its not something there.

I would check fuel pressure though only takes like 5 minutes. To answer your question if you have a fuel leak it would die because the fuel pumps cant keep up and fuel pumps would try to build up pressure hence not starting right away.
