    Interestingly,,, While my fuel pump was randomly quitting on me (down at the Vintage) there was a LOT of heat happening at the fuel pump relay. I think they are 11 bucks at the dealer.

    In short, if you have replaced the pump, replaced the fuse, checked the wiring, I'd go after that relay.

      Cool to have been some help.
