Default '92 LS starting problem

Car tries to start- runs for a second or two and quits. replaced plugs, fuel filter. no results. car is also running lean. could it be the cat converters stopped up? any suggestions would be helpful.

That's good, now read the codes.

The start stop, after codes look for spark and fuel delivery to fuel rail. If it ran before this problem it would not be spark plugs or cats.
