Help please, wont "run"

I'm haveing a problem and need some help.
The truck has been running great. Went out today and it would fire but not run. finally started, then I shut it off and it would not start again.
I have power going to the relay and it will fire but will not stay running. If I turn on ignition and pull up the shutoff solenoid it does not stay up. If I put power to the solenoid at the harness it (the solenoid) works. If I put power to the brown wire to the relay, the solenoid works. I dont have gas guage but I can hear a little fuel when shake the truck (I "should have enough for another 100 miles unless my milage went down the tubes. I do have fuel in the filter drain. Also I moved around all the relays and fuses.
Any Ideas?

it will start if I hold the solenoid in
