We seem to have fuel pressure at the rail and we can hear the fuel pump. It has gas.

Can you explain what is happening?

We crank and crank, give it some gas, it turns over and starts but will only stay running for 10 seconds, if we try to flutter the gas pedal it usually dies immediately. However when we unplugged the Idle air control valve, it cranks, starts and runs only at an idle.

No. But I did poke the shrader valve on the fule rail and gas came squirting out.

best you run a diagionstic scan and get the fuel pressure tested with an appropriate gauge.
