My car has been sittin for 6 months. And the other day I baught a new battery for it. And it started right up. And then it cut right back off. Now it wont start. All of the fuses are good. And I put 3 gallons of gas in it. And it still wont start back up

Will it crank?

Check for bright blue spark on all cylinders. Also check to see if your getting fuel to the fuel filter.

Post back what you find.

There is a fuel pump relay but I cant seem to find my diagram for your car. Check for voltage at the pump, if thers voltage and no fuel then the pump is bad.
