The only known failure mode for that ECU is in grounding the Fuel relay coil to energize it for cranking and running. I don't believe that failure is known to be an intermittent fault.

But to eliminate the possibility, you can substitute for the ECU grounding function by "back-probing" (like you did at AMM Orange) with a grounded test wire at the fuel relay harness plug's Blue/Green wire.

The pumps should run as soon as the Key is On.

If it starts with the ground jumper in place, the ECU is suspect.
