Have you tried swapping out the fuel pump relay (the red one) with a known good black one?

The way your car is wired, the fuel pump first comes on when the key is turned to the "start" position. Then, when the engine begins to run (air taken in through the intake) the fuel pump will continue to operate. This is done through the relay. Since the electrics are still on (if I understand you correctly--your sentence is a bit odd), I'd suspect a problem with the relay.

You can also try these test. Remove the red relay and look at the bottom, you will see numbers next to each pin. Locate pin #30 and 87a, and carefully note the socket those two pins seat in in the relay base. Use a piece of wire to jump the connection between #30 and 87a in the relay seat. Turn on the ignition. If your fuel pump comes on, the relay was bad.

Or

Remove the air cleaner. Turn on the ignition and go to the back of the car, put your hand into the intake and gently push up on the plunger. If the fuel pump comes on, it was the relay.


BTW, from what you describe, isn't your starter motor grinding away as you move the car with the key in the "start" position?
