My car runs fine but after 5mins it shuts off after 10mins it starts back up with the check engine light on sometimes it will run ruff when I start up again and cuts off could it be my fuel pump.

Hi there,

Fuel pumps don't often cut in and out like this, when they fail they normally stay dead. I would first do a scan to see what has activated your check light, this may give you an indication as to your problem.
