It will start and run for about 2 seconds then die. I tested the fuel pump and that works, and I changed the relay switch. The pump just stops getting electric after about 2 seconds.

When are you testing? Will cycle for 2 sec when you turn the ignition on, this builds up line pressure, you need the engine running for the pump to stay running, does the engine start and run?

Yes it will start but then the fuel pump relay switch will kick out. So I replaced it but it didn't help.
