Sounds something like what *my '89 wagon is doing, though mine has been just flat dying lately, then not starting for awhile. Twice now, I'll jump the #4 and #6 fuses, and the main fuel pump doesn't run. Then after awhile it starts, or the pump runs when fuses are jumped.

I just found degraded insulation on the wires at the fuel pump plugs, and the plugs were really hard to get out. We'll see if that was the problem... Did you double-check the electrical connections to the pump, put dielectric grease or anything in the plugs? Are they water/dirt-proof? I'm trying to imagine how to get mine to be that way when I put it back together...
