Your post isn't clear.

You say that it shuts off, but also that it doesn't start. It can't shut off unless it starts. Never starting is very very different set of problems than shutting off after it's started.

Does it fire up at all? spark, fuel, combustion, noise...?
Or just it just crank, and not start?

it turns on then turns off we figured out that it wasnt getting gas so we checked out and the mechanic came just switched two fuse around and the car now runs but he went to the fuel pump and realized it was leaking gas do you know anyway to fix that

Replace the fuel pump. Sounds like the root problem is fuel pressure drop, from the leak.

If you have a leak, I would get the entire assembly. Several places carry it.

There are tips on how to change it, and a tool that can make it easier. Many places sell both. I did it the hard way, but was broken down at the track.

Here are two of the threads with photos of the pump assembly and pump, photos of tool required and diy removal video for Series 1 OEM fuel pump. I have had it done and replaced a bad oem pump with a DW 200 fuel pump from BHR.
