Every morning the car will not run it will turn over
When I turn the ignition switch on the check engine light stays on
Fuel pump doesn't work after leaving the switch on for about 8 min all of a sudden
It will pump fuel and the check engine light will shut off I try cranking again it will run
I can kill the car and try to re crank everything will work again?

I had the same problem with one of my hatches. Ended up being the ground by the thermostat. Connection was loose/poor.

main relay is sticking! its on the kick panel on drivers side should be a square box 1 10mm bolt and long brown plug right around where the hood latch pull mechanism is! let it hang loose and if nothings working you should be able to turn switch on and then tap this quickly and listen! the fuel pump will come on and go off with the cel.
