A couple weeks ago the fuel pump on my car broke but I got around to fix this past Saturday. After I put in the fuel pump I put in clean gas and started the car up with no problem. The following day I tried to start the car up again and it would start. After letting sit for a few hours I tried starting it again this time it started after a few cranks but immediately turned off. I tried turning it on again a few hours later and it did the same thing. I changed the spark plugs and the fuel filter a couple months ago. What else should I check. Thank you in advance.

Yep, when you change the fuel pump the fuel pump relay must be changed as well. Here is the location of the relay so you can swap it out to see if this fixes the problem. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.
