If you have power and ground to the pump it should run as long as you have both.

After the pump quits I can check for voltage and I get 11.7 volts before during and after the pump quits. Is the only thing that can be bad is the pump?

If the fuel pump is getting power and ground the fuel pump should be running.

Ran a jumper wire from the battery to the pump there are 4 prongs on the pump I get voltage at the middle two coming in to the pump but if I touch the jumper wire to the middle two prongs nothing but if I touch the outside two prongs pump comes on, it is not easy getting to the prongs they're about a half inch into the male side of the plug and trying to touch the connections with a fuel tank 3/4 full of gas and sparks coming from the jumpers as you make contact. I think my luck is running out. The fact that when I installed the second pump it started right u, then quit with the jumper the pump doesn't quit but when plugged in to the harness it quits but no fuel comes out, either way but why does the pump quit is there some kind of safty switch that shuts off the pump if no fuel comes out after so long

The pump only runs a few seconds when you turn the key to the run position then in the start position the pump will as long as your cranking the engine over. Also the pump runs as long as thee engine runs. That's the way most fuel pumps are supposed to run.
