Do you hear the 2 relay clicks when you turn the key on? Can you get 
a friend to help you so that one of you can listed to the pump as the 
engine runs and then dies. Does the pump continue to run after the 
engine dies? (If it does, you should hear the pump relay click off 
about 1 second AFTER the engine dies.)

If the pump wasn't staying on, it would slow down and die. The sudden 
death makes this sound more like an electrical problem, either 
ignition or FI. Check your FI grounds.
