    Default ST205 electical issue....

    Not my car, fortunately, but....

    Rebuilt engine has just been put back in and went to fire up. Ran for about 20 seconds before it would shut down. No engine check light present.
    Still have injector pulse and spark present - fuel pump is shutting down.
    Engine will run fine if fuel pump relay is bypassed.

    Worried that ECU itself may be the problem. I have a spare we can try but wondering if anyone has any suggestions in the meantime?

    circuit opening relay..turns fuel pump on with start signal from key but isn't keeping the fuel pump running with the signal from the ecu.

    check the wire between the relay and the ecu

    pull the plastic cover off this relay (should be near the ecu and has circuit open really written on it) hold the contacts closed and see if the engine keeps running
