Re: sensor issue maybe?

The fuel pump relay needs a ground to operate. It sounds like you may have a loose ground somewhere. Check the frame to negative wires and especially the 3 wires that are bolted to the back of the driver's side cylinder head (nearly impossible to get to). There's only 2 arrows in the pic below, but if you look close, there are 3 terminals.
