Turn key to on position while you have the door open and hang your head out the door and listen to here if your pump pressurizes the system. If you don't hear the pump run at all then that's a start to what to fix.

I'm going to try changing the filter tho Friday and i would say its the pump to but now their is fuel in the fuel rail so I'm assuming the pump is working? but still no start and she aint flooded i tried cranking it without touching gas a bunch then with gas nothing. but maybe could it still be the pump?

just because you can hear it turn on for 2 secs does not mean all is well.
hearing it turn on for 2 secs is a good thing, that means it is getting power and it's supposed to shut off like that. it only stays on when the motor is running.
