It's the MPI relay, and if it's bad, the fuel pump will not run at all. The ECU initially turns on the pump and squirts the injectors for a few MS to start, then the CAS sends a signal to the ECU that the engine is running and to keep supplying fuel.

I'm guessing a dirty fuel filter or injectors is the problem here.
