I turn the ignition on the fuel pump cycles as normal and engine starts and runs about one minute then shuts down. Turn the ignition off then back on and the fuel pump does not cycle wait for about two minutes then it will start just as it did before. Does any one have any ideas?

Scan for codes first then check fuel pressure with a gauge should be 60-66 psi auto parts rent it. It may be either or maybe a security problem so if you have another key try that. if it continues have a mechanic scan for codes with his scanner something else may show up. See link.
