Ok, here are the issues, Car died the other day during the rain. Thought it was ignition problem, changed, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil. Still wouldn't run. Figured out fuel pump not running, changed fuel pump and filter. Car will start but will immediately die, just like above. Fuel pump does run but not until after car starts. Shouldn't it turn on with the key immediately? Could this just be the relay? I am tired of throwing parts at it. Please help!!!

once you turn the key, pump should come on.

The fuel pump is only running after the car has attempted to run. If I just put the key in the run position, I don't hear it running.

OK, replaced fuel pump relay without any change. Fuel pump fuse is good. Code P1500 shows up which is fuel pump circuit failure. Is there any common areas I need to look at to find this problem with the circuit?

I did change the whole fuel pump, and when that didn't fix it, I tried the fuel pump relay, to no avail.

so all ignition is new, fuel pump, relay, and filter new....only thing left would be throttle body or fuel manifold. Sounds really weird cause after you change that stuff it should stay running, unless your fuel rail is totally jacked! WOW sounds weird man.
