Does anyone know how to make a temporary power circuit? I'm trying to run an electric exhaust cutout with a on/off switch on to open, off to close instead of te temporary toggle switch that it came wit. Using a five pin relay I know I can make the electric motor in the cutout open and close with an on/off switch but without a way for the power to stop It would constantly be sending power to make the motor go forward or reverse and burn it out so I need a way to make it stop sending power after around 2 seconds. any ideas?

Why couldn't you use a momentary rocker switch?
