Guess! Fuel pump dying or Accel Injectors???
Alright this is for my car that is having trouble starting hot/cold, whenever, I turn it over and all it want to do is turn for a few times, but when i give it gas it starts up. Replaced with new 15 lb/hr. accel injectors (2 were leaking). As for the fuel pump, it make a low whine for a few seconds and then turns off.

The fuel pump running for a few seconds and then shutting off is normal. When you first turn on the ignition, a timed relay is activated to power the fuel pump. If no oil pressure is produced (as in the engine starting), the relay shuts off and the fuel pump stops. It's a safety device.
Otherwise, I'm not familiar enough with the V6 EFI system to offer any further advice.

ALright. so it sounds like its not the pump, but what would make it start if i give it gas?
Edit: Scratch that just turns over now when i hit the gas too. Take like 5-7 seconds to start so i'm now suspecting a dying starter.
