Runs only if the fuel relay is jumped 200 1981

Hi
In the continuing saga of the Volvo 240 B21 with the colorful history, after replacing the fuel pump the car runs beautifully if the #87 and #30 leads are jumped. If not, it will start and sort of huff along sounding like its running on only 2 cylinders or a similar noise (it hits all 4 cylinders if its jumped, i think its hitting on all four, just sounds like 2).
Conditions: freshly replaced: fuel filter, in tank pump, main pump, fuel relay, and a whole pile of damaged wiring.
When its running either way the Lamba sond light is on (possibly coincidence, a lot of wiring was messed with, i might have wired the light itself wrong).
I am jumping it by removing the wires from the fuel relay totally and vice grippng them together (that cuts out the whole relay, i think)
What now? I have reached the confused point again.
Anyone who is keeping up with me, the noisy fuel pump was trash, the nem pump is nice and quiet.
Any suggestions? Thanks :)
Delphine
