I drove to the store and came out to start the car. it will turn over and you can hear the fuel pump and it will run for 2 seconds but wont stay running. i did this at least 20 times. starts better from neutral than park. if you press the gas it will rev higher but not longer. starts, dies, starts, dies, etc...

Check the fuel pressure-if okay test the fuel pump/oil pressure switch this is where we start. The fuel pump relay primes the F/Pump for 2 secs when vehicle starts up the pressure switch takes over the power
