I am sorry I misunderstood you post, when you car cranks but fails to start, it means that you are not providing either spark or fuel or something else is going on. Your ignition switch contacts provide power to several modules including the ECM, I still believe that you may have problems with the ignition switch contact block.
Well was out earlier today, it cranked and started on the first try, but after a second of running it died. What could cause that? Right after that I started it up, and it ran just fine.
Have you checked the fuel pressure, fuel filter, fuel pump relay, just sounds like you have a fuel delivery problem.
Had a new fuel pump and injectors put in about 2 Years ago when I had my supercharger installed. Could the the filter, don't know the last time that's been changed.
OP, if it cranks and runs but then quits I think it is time for you to pull your dash DIC codes and see if they show anything that might help.

Had to pull fuses for ebcm, cause it's ****ing with my brakes so that's why I have those code. Only ones that are the first time seeing is b0516 and b0521 but they only history so not worried. 02 sensors ones p0153 and p0133 are not installed butyl that's been for a long while now.
If you pull the codes AFTER you turn the engine OFF, almost all codes will show as H.
If you have an issue that is "locked in" pull them before you turn the engine off to see if anything is C. To do that you will need to reset any DIC messages first to get the codes.
Not at home to post the diagnostics on B0512 and B0521.
Watching to see what you find. I'm wondering if you have an intermittent ground wire that is making connection sometimes and sometimes not. I'd def check the ground for the fuel pump.
The car doesn't care if there is oil pressure and there is no fuel pressure sensor.
There are programs is the ECM that will shutoff the engine if after starting ---the oil pressure does not go above like 6 PSI same goes for low or no fuel pressure

There is no low oil pressure shut-off. Your car will continue to run without any oil pressure.
There is no fuel pressure sensor so it's impossible for the PCM to even know the fuel pressure let alone shut down on low fuel pressure. However, if it goes low enough then there won't be enough fuel to run the engine.
Sorry for no update recently, it hasn't happened since friday, maybe I had some bad gas in the car? No idea, it's been starting up no the first time every time. My oil pressure is always great, anywhere from 50-80 psi usually. Though my oil pan leaks like most other c5s, had to add more oil a few days ago, think that could have had anything to do with it?
Well car died after a few seconds again today. Had left the key in the ignition and kept trying to crank it and it was struggling, im thinking its the ignition block. I took out the key and it put it back in, and it started up fine. tommorrow Ill try taking it apart again and take a look
