Default 88 S10 2.8L Starting Problems

I have an 88 S10 P/U that wont start. Fuel Relay works(brand new), the ECMB fuse is not blown, and when i turn my truck on(ON not over) the relay clicks, the fuel pump buzzes for a couple seconds then turns off. After trying to start it, the fuel pump buzzes for about 15-20 seconds after truck is turned off. Is that normal? I have looked over many forms and have an idea of what it is but i would like more insite if someone could please. I should also add that it has been like this on and off like this since August but after a couple trys it would turn over. Now that it has gotten colder(minnesota) the truck doesnt want to start. Please Help!!!
