cant you just wire the fp directly to the ignition or directly from the 12v power source with a toggle switch if desired..might be a stupid idea for reasons im not thinking of right now but its what i would do and id like to hear reasons why not. Dont mean to chase you around the forum but your problem has peaked my interest.

I'm not sure if your engine is completely stock or not, but if it it then I'm pretty sure the fuel pump does NOT get a constant 12 volts, its changes as the demand for fuel increases. If your car won't stay running, then there is most likely another problem. In the stock system, the AFM has to be plugged in so the ECU will read when the flapper door is opening, else it won't power the fuel pump relay. Like I said, I'm not sure of your setup and there could be a bunch of things causing the problem, but I doubt its a voltage problem.
