my 18R-GEU engine wont work...
this it what happens:
first when i try to start it starts but then it just stops, the same happens the second time, but then the third, fourth etc. time it wont start at all.
and the ful pump is runing all the time!
sounds like the ignition just stops, maybe the coil igniter is broken or something i dont know...

is there a fuel pump relay on these cars? not familiar, if they have check that if its working properly.
then check wiring on the ECU for the fuel pump
I thought it should stop after 5 secs or something.

your car is starting on the cold start injector, this is why it starts then stops. it appears that your injectors are not pulsing therefor start there... check for the ING signal from the coil/ignitor to the ecu. without this signal the ecu doesnt know when to fire the injectors
good luck

can also be caused by the ignition fuse blown out or the like - that is if it will only run while the key is in the "start" position and if it stops when you release from start position.

How long does it run before it stops?
Does it start running worse and worse and then stop?
If this is the case, look for a pinched fuel line. It will start and run on residual pressure, then it fades and dies.
If it's not that, then it's electrical, that's my bet.
