    Check your circuit opening relay .

    It sounds like no fuel pressure when cranking.

    once the engine is running the other contacts pull in and keep it running

    I had to bypass the relay and run the pump key on and mine now runs. Guess that’s the sign of a bad relay?

    Put a good relay in from my other Tacoma. Still the same. So that’s not it.
