Once the pump is running, the fuel passes continuously thru the fuel rails. Normal as can be. Shouild be expected as a matter of fact.
Try jumpering the yellow two socket fuel pump check connector and see if the engine will stay running. It bypasses the switch in the afm. Does the exact same thing as the switch in the afm *making*.

^ You probably have a good size vacuum leak. When I rebuilt my motor holding the flapper open a little was the only way I could keep it running. Turned out to be cracks in the LIM. The engine wasn't pulling enough air through the AFM to hold it open. Or it was just not injecting enough fuel.

That sounds like the most likely scenario.
