    does the engine light come back on when it stops?
    check the fuses and relays in the engine bay for corrosion/bad contacts
    check the 2 plugs near the battery that feed power to the engine and ecu for corrosion also
    check the connector that joins the engine loom to the dash loom near the ecu
    if all that checks out try another ecu if you can borrow one

    just cause you can hear a fuel pump running doesn't mean it's pumping properly also, but if it's pumping enough to run for 30 seconds i'd say it's ok, low fuel pressure would still run just rough

    an after thought, is it stopping about the same time the oil light goes out? the oil pressure sender has a switch in it that controls the fuel pump, initially the ecu pumps to prime via the relay, once running and has oil pressure that switch takes over or something like that
