Engine starts then Dies

When I first got my vehicle if I let it sit for a couple days it wouldnt start. It didnt have any problems when I was running it every day. A friend suggested that it might be my return lines loosing pressure. After looking at them they desperately needed to be replaced. After replacing them I now have a new issue. The vehicle will fire right up and run well for 2-4ish minutes. It will then loose power and rev up doing that cycle a couple times then dies out. If i crack a couple injector lines and bleed the system I can get it started again. I havent been driving it much as im doing some work on it but now its to the point that I had it running yesterday and it died just a few moments ago. Im not sure if its the dash gauges or the sensors but I also have no oil pressure and I suspect my coolant temp sensor might also be faulty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
