Yes I would think you could rule them out, that is normal operation for the Computer to turn off the FP relay after the engine dies (no PIP train).

It is possible that low pressure (boost pump) in the tank does not have enough pressure to lock the selector valve to its tank and when it quits the valve is closing off the selected tank. How about when you switch to the other tank, does the same thing happen?

try taking the fuel hose off at the selector valve and putting it in a bucket and then ground pin #6 of the test connector, turn on the key and see what flow you get from the in-tank pump.
