So, everyone, thanks for your help. I finally got it back up and running yesterday. It was a combination of issues including:
- Blown fuel pump fuse (I swear it wasn't blown when I checked it right after it stopped running last time)
- Voltage variations between 9 and 13.5v at the fuel pump. I cleaned up the contacts on the connector, and cleaned up some grounds and that seemed to resolve that issue.
- Apparently, when I replaced the fuel pump I inadvertently messed up my fuel level sender, so I was lower on fuel than I thought, AND there was still some months old fuel in it. I honestly think some of this started with a bad tank of fuel, and some of that would have still been in the tank.
So, I put a full tank of Top Tier fuel along with some Fuel System Cleaner in it last night and this morning it started up beautifully. Unfortunately, when I slammed the door shut last night, my driver's side mirror glass flew off and broke, so now I'm on the hunt again. :)
