Default Got her finished and she breaks

Right, not been in in a while but the good news is the car is 95% done an interior all back in. Was so excited I wanted to drive it all weekend, wasn't meant to be. Now I don't think it's anything major but I have a small issue.

Drove Her yesterday and was fine, parked up last night and won't start today, starts then cuts straight out? I don't think I can hear the
Fuel pump so guessing that? Any ideas would be great

Cheers

could this pink fuel pump relay be the cause of my problems aswell? my car starts but doesnt stay started i have to give it some gas at about 2-300 revs more than idle speed for about 3mins then she stays started sometimes after sitting idling for a while she slowly starts to cut out idling at lower and lower rpm but very gradually decreases!

Just took it out but without getting another one how can I tell if it's the problem?

Where can I get a new one?

run a wire from the battery to the pump and see if it runs with a direct live before you go spending money on relays etc

or just stick a multimeter on the pump and check for voltage
