Re: Fuel issues
Hhhhmmm....... If it is failing this soon, that really doesn't bode well. Will it not even prime when you cycle the key?
If it doesn't, replace it. Go with an AC Delco, or Denso pump. Even if you have to order it, and wait.

Re: Fuel issues
After it sits for a while it will start and run for at most 10 minutes then shuts down and wont prime again for a few hours

Re: Fuel issues
The Walbro pump I put in mind didn't even last a year. I went back to the GM pump. (didn't hurt that at the time, I was working at a Chevy dealer, in the parts department....)
If you put a jumper in place of the relay, will the pump run?

Re: Fuel issues
How about all of the associated wiring and grounding locations?
Any dull, corroded, or rusted connectors?
