Starts but doesn't stay running?!?!?!?

I am looking to buy a 2000 civic with the d16y5 motor.... The owner says it runs but doesn't stay running and was told it might be the fuel pump..... A friend of my said it could be the computer.... Any suggestions??????

could be thousands of $$ in repairs if you dont know what the problem is. fuel pump maybe, ecu maybe, main relay, etc could be a list of 10 things its hard to say.
