But it has run several times in the course of this thread. And then later not run. Surely it is an intermittent problem, and I hope it is indeed some intermittent fault you cannot see in the new replacement fuel relay, just so as not to be a buzzkill. Are you really confident enough now to send your intended down I85 in this car by herself?

Main thing to take from this is to avoid the scatter gun troubleshooting, but instead use a methodical approach, verifying each component of a running internal combustion engine before jumping on part swap ideas.

It is much more likely that the socket your fuel relay plugs into has a poor connection. Plug your old one in and VERIFY the problem returns.
