87 camaro will not fire, put in new fuel pump and relay

cannot get my 1987 Camaro to run. one day I jumped in to leave, turned the key, just kept cranking. So then I replaced the fuel pump. still nothing. I even put in a new fuel pump relay and wire harness. still nothing. when I use a jumper wire on the harness, the pump kicks on. when I go to start it the car will start then shut right off. I take away the jumper wire and its back to doing nothing. I have no idea what else to to. I even put in a esc module today hoping that was the problem. still nothing. my car has a 5.7 tpi. any help would be greatly appreciated .
