Still Not Running. Tons more info for the gurus

Ok, dove into the car today. Voltage is good at the panel and the injectors. FI Relay is a little flaky but that is a new problem and not causing my no start. Opened the realy today because it was not clicking. (was before must have just quit) Close the realy by hand and I get the almost want to start putter that I've been getting. Open the relay and the car RUNS for a few seconds till it runs out of gas. Obviously this whole time I've not been short fuel but getting way too much fuel dumpped into the clynders. If I sit there and engage/disengage the relay by hand the car will idle. Hold the relay closed and the car dies. No question that my problem is that the car is waaaaaayyyyy too rich to run. What can cause this? What is the most likely cause? Could I have a problem with my AFM or is this likely a regulator/dampner issue? Keep in mind that this is an intermittant issue. This is the third time that I've had this problem. Both times the car has basically fixed itself. (last time I installed a fuel pump but obviously that was not the problem) By the way. When I put the fuel pump in the car started right up but missed and puored fuel smoke for 20-30 seconds. I chalked that up to bleeding the fuel system but looks now like somehting was reseting. Car ran for maybe 50-60 miles then quit like a car does when CPS fails. Just stopped no miss. (after the first time which was when I first installed the motor in the car after sitting for several years it fixed itself and ran for 4-5000 miles then quit on shutdown.... Just wouldn't start in a parking lot) Obviously this is probably not a cold start issue since the car IS cold.

Does anybody on the list in Colorado have a fuel pressure tester?

82 us 928 by the way.

Time Temp Sensor is bad. Car is running after I cleaned the contacts but it is giving funky readings. What effect will weird readings have on performance. Ordering the part today so doesn't really matter but just curious.
