Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Automatic

Ok, my car will start. It cranks up, no noises or anything, but only stays on for a few seconds then cuts off again. But if i wait a long while before trying to crank the car then it cranks right up. Is this a fuel pump problem? It doesnt sound like the starter because it is cranking right up with no problems the car will just not stay on. The battery is perfectly fine, but like i said if you wait a while, it will work fine, and stay on. Well actually one time it did turn off on me while i was driving it. Its become very annoying. Does anyone know what is wrong with my car?
