Does it start back up, when you attempt to start after it shuts down? Recommend you check the fuel pressure to rule out a failing fuel pump-could also be the ignition switch-

It'll start back up but it won't stay on. I think it's the fuel pump as well buy not really sure.

Check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump and also the idle air control valve-
