you sure its working try taking out the feul pump and connenct a wire from the battery power and ground to the fuel pump to see if its working. if it is working try checking your battery if its low on power then its probably your alternator. if your alternator is bad then your car wont stay on because the battery is only used to start the car and dampen electrical spikes and the car runs off the alternator, but if the alternator is bad the car will run off the battery completely and it wont stay on for long and it will bog and shut off. so check to see if your pump is working then check battery voltage (should be 12-14v) if lower then normal voltage then its probably your alternator. goodluck!
