Unhappy Electrical problems...

Has anyone had this happen to them? I've got some wierd thing going on with my electrical system. All my lights work, hatch and fuel door release, etc (all extra crap). My problem is : when the engine is warming up, it's smooth sailing. But as soon as the choke pulls itself in the fuel pump stops running and you can guess what happens next. I've checked every wiring harness i can find, and even put in another ecu. But the problem is still there.

Someone, anyone PLEASE HELP!!

You're sure the fuel pump shuts off?

Maybe your ignition is shutting down, rather than the fuel pump. If all your stuff is acting funny, I would start by checking all of your grounds (battery, starter, etc.). Since it only happens when its warm, I would start with the starter, since is close to the exhaust manifold. Good luck...
