It will start and run for about 2 seconds then die. I tested the fuel pump and that works, and i changed the relay switch. The pump just stops getting electric after about 2 seconds.

When are you testing? will cycle for 2 sec when you turn the ignition on, this builds up line pressure, you need the engine running for the pump to stay running, does the engine start and run?
