98 regal gs just dying right after start

hello fellas, im new to the forum so bare with me.

i have a 98 regal gs, i dont know how many miles are on it because the odometer broke a couple years back.. but im just going to assume about 130,000. the service engine soon, service vehicle soon, trac off, brake, and anti-lock lights have all been going/staying on for about 8 months now... my brother took the car to a friend of his who has a diagnostic system and told me nothing but "all these lights trace back to the supercharger" didnt give me any codes or anything....

well, the car has been driving pretty much flawlessly for all these 8 or so months, except about a week ago, after not being driven for 2 days i tried to start my car and it just died. i changed the oil about a month ago and it has a full tank of gas. when i say its dying i mean it'll start and just give out... i can keep it running by pumping the gas to 2500+ rpm's but as soon as i let go the car dies. The battery appears to have leaked a little bit of acid and im going to replace that but i dont think thats the entire reason my car is dying.

does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening?

here are soemthings that you might want to know:
i always fill it with regular gas from either bp or shell
the oil is mobile 1 synthetic 10w-30
everything is stock

Last August my 98 GS did the exact same thing. It turned out to be the resistor for the fuel pump.

Why are you using regular gas? You should be using premium 91 octane or better on a L67 GS.
