I have/had the same problem. Was not getting fuel. The pump would come on but once it would start it would turn off. I have some codes and I know what is wrong but I lack the funds to fix it right now. I jumped the fuel pump and she ran and is still running. I put a relay and a fuse in line but it is not as safe as getting the cause figured out and having it work the way it is suppose to work. I have been driving my car this way for about 8 months now with no problems. Not recommending you do this but jus saying this was my half assed way to get it to run.
car runs and stays on for 2 seconds then dies out

I think i was getting code 51. I don't remember it has been a while it has been on. i know my TPS is shot. I tried to take it apart to "fix" it. when i get off my lazy ass i will get one from some one on here and see what else is wrong.
The fuel pump i spliced the power supply wire at the sending unit in the tank. I got power straight off the battery then fused it then ran it in to a relay. i just sliced in to a wire that energized when the ignition was turn on to power up the relay then ran the wire inside the car to the trap door in the hatch area.
Now, not under any circumstances do i recommend you do this to your car. This is MY car and what I did to MY car. When i was a mechanic i would not fix a customers car the way I would "fix" my car.
we fought for about 3 days before we realized the fuel pump was nt staying powered. after serching and trying to figure out what was wrong we just wired it direct. You may have better luck.

Yeah I can but that will only solve some of the problems with the car. I have to rewire the knock sensor and get a new trans cable and the bracket that holds the cable near the throttle body. Then after I fix all that see what eles I need to fix.
