&&&ok i jumped them and i could hear the fuel what do i do now do i keep it in there or take it out is there something i need to plug it into&&&&&&&&&&&

Well???? Does the car now run or not. If it's running all the time now and not shutting off, then you can run for some time with the jumper til you find out/fix the problem. The problem, in the case that the car/engine now runs without shuttting down, would have been the switch in the afm not making a circuit when the flap was moved off its stop. You might take the jumper out, then remove the air filter where you can touch the flap in the afm. Now turn the key to ON and see if the pump runs as it did with the jumper in. IF it does not....then the afm's internal switch is broken/busted/misadjusted.

IF with the fuel pump jumper in and the fuel pump a pumpin...the engine still shuts off after it starts up.....then you have the same problem and it's probably not fuel pump related. I can't tell from your answer if the engine still shuts down after a few moments running.
