Forget the fuel pump for now. The MAIN RELAY causes it to not start when
it's warm under the dash. Smack the dash with the key in position II, it
will start until next time. The failed ignition switch stops it dead in
traffic / on the highway. Resolder the relay, get the ignition switch
replaced before you get killed.
