Sound like the hold side of the start solenoid is not holding, so it shuts itself off.
thanks that was one of 3 things i was thinking was the problem , i priced one today its 211.00 little pricey but if it fixes the problem then it would be cheap thanks again

Check fuses. Often the stop solenoid hold coil D2cat refereed to is powered in a fused circuit.

What transmission do you have as it makes a difference in some electrical issues.?

Here is the test procedure for the actual solenoid and its wiring.

And the procedure for checking the stop solenoid relay.
