Sal M (engine runs, then shuts off)

Replaced engine 2008 passion replaced clutch actuator, engine starts and runs great for about 1 and 1/2 minutes then shuts off by itself, replaced the crank sensor because at first it would not start. After not starting for a week I let it sit and it started and now it’s doing the shutting off thing.???

Is it setting any codes?
If I were to guess, perhaps a fuel delivery issue?
Disagnostics will help though.
It shows crank sensor which has been changed twice to make sure. For a week it would not start at all, then after being parked a week we went to push it inside for storage this winter I just tried and it fired right up. Now it starts every time then shuts off, by the way it won’t start again unless you wait a few hours.

Any other answers guys or girls, running out of idears
Sounds like an almost dead fuel pump. Seepy, nor spurting.
Looks like that’s where I’m going next, runs perfect for about 1-2 minutes , I was wondering if an emergency shut off could be triggering the shut down
