Default main relay problem or fuel pump?

hey i have a qeustion and im not sure if its teh main relay or the fuel pump...

ok so i drive my car around..parked it...5 minutes later i go back in..it barely wants to start and dies..then it just keeps on cranking when i turn the key like its not getting no fuel...after about 10-15 minutes of waiting i go back and try again then it starts up...

is it the main relay or the fuel pump? thanks for your help!

i would check it rather than guessing, one way is to see if it doesnt start do the injectors pulse and do u get spark? Another would be to check if there is power going to the fuel pump from the main relay.
