Didn't think of that. Will check.

I should also add that if you have a vacuum leak it should have thrown a code and if you don't have any it most likely isn't one.

Maybe. Maybe not. The fact that it fires and dies can be a large enough vacuum leak that the motor cannot function. I had this happen when I replaced my starter. I didn't get the intake t back on correctly and created a massive vacuum leak. The result was that the car would fire and immediately die.

Yes that is true as each system has to go through a series of run cycles to throw a code so if it isn't running it probably won't.

Could be a problem with the system ground.
Also swap the fuel pump relay if the problem happens again.
