car starts...then dies!!!

so this morning when i walked outside to jump in my TA i turned the key and the car started up just fine. not more than 5 seconds later...it just...dies! so i started it again...5 seconds later it dies again like the fuel was being cut or something. so i try again, it starts up, and doesnt die. i drove it a good 30 miles to work with no problems at all. then i get off work and now it won't start at all...and when it did start it would die after 5 seconds again. so after about a half hour of fighting with it, it finally stays running and i drove home with no problems whatsoever. i talked to my friend and he thinks it's an electrical problem...maybe a relay in the ignition or something. what do you guys think? i'm kinda stumped here...

Re: car starts...then dies!!!

The fuel pump may be going out on you. Check the fuel pressure both when it is firing up and dying and when it stays running (could still be a little low).
