When you guys are cranking on it, and can hear the pump pushing, touch the fuel pump relay, is it hot, noticeably hotter than the rest? Your pump is drawing too much current, and your relay is over heating. Many times is drawing so hard because of a partially plugged filter, left to long the fuel pump will burn out.

I had replaced a relay that I thought was damaged, with a new one, made China, that got hotter than all heck and caused the exact problems. Replaced with good relay and new fuel filter and she doesn't miss a beat now.
