If it cuts off its losing 12v via power or ground!
Make sure the fuse power line is tightened tight on the alternator nut, check the fuse on that line as well..
Make sure the ground wire next to the hotwire relay is grounded directly to the frame..
If those are done correctly, next step is to use a multimeter and probe the power wire going into the top of the fuel tank and confirm the pump itself is getting 12v
If the car won't start and idle you can test it out by having a buddy turn the keys to "on" and the pump will prime for a couple seconds and should show power..
If all that works and it still won't start or cuts off then take the pump out and bench test it using 12v and see if it turns on and what it sounds like..
I tested my original pump awhile back and it sounded like a marble was caught in it...
