Well tonight the car received a relay powering the red-green wire, with the signal-wire connecting to the red-black wire's terminal. The car now starts under its own cranking which it didn't do previously, and the fuel pump works consistently when the car is driving. Could probably still do with a 'tune-up' of the K-Jet, but now I can just jump in the car and start it, hassle free.
I installed a junction box to gracefully simplify some of the ugly aftermarket stereo wiring also, and ran the wire for the fuel pump power from that junction box also. It doesn't look factory but it is a bit neater. Maybe I could have just run it off of one of the bridged terminals on the fuse box, but I was hesitant to put another 6amps through a system that I know nothing about, particularly on a model of car where electrical fires seem to be commonplace.
I still can't figure out how the hell it ever worked before the problem developed, it seems that it was simply wired up incorrectly, but it isn't something that I have ever changed.
I really want to say thanks for all of the feedback that you guys provided. Working through problems like this can be a challenge so I hope I didn't come off as unappreciative.
