pump relay. check its clicking, or as a temporary fix, wire a switched live to the red/blue wire from the pump with an inline 20amp fuse.

If the engine runs then it can't be the relay?
As the pump wouldn't work at all if the relay wasn't getting activated.....

sounds like hassle for some reason. would have to lay down all the wiring along the seals and the rest.

sorted mine,

the clamp on top of the fuel pump was not tight enough as the shaft on the new pump was thinner,

so guessing when i left the car over night, the fuel pressure was pushing the fuel out at the pump.

so got a jubalee, tighen'd the f*cker up and now it startes first time every time
