fuel pump relay bad?

Well, I just got my 5kcst back from the shop the other day, it started up and 
ran fine for about the 10 miles to town.  I stopped to get my other car 
registered at the dmv and when I got in and started it it idled for about 30 
seconds and quit.  It wouldn't start up.  It would crank but not turn over. I 
eventually got towed to a shop I have dealt with before, they told me I 
needed a new fuel pump. Ok, did that it ran great until I got in it today, it 
started up and we traveled down my driveway (100yds) and went down the road a 
few more yards and it stalled out and I couldn't get it started, same as the 
other day.  My 2 boys and a neighbor pushed the car back towards our driveway 
(uphill), I didn't want to leave the car there, so I decided to troubleshoot 
myself.  Now I'm not a mechanic, but I read the list daily and have the 
Bentley.  So I located the the fuel pump fuse and relay, fuse seems ok. I 
pulled the relay & couldn't visually find anything wrong and put it back.  
Next step I thought was to pull the codes on the fuel pump relay.  I put a 
10a fuse in the relay and proceeded to follow the instructions and low and 
behold the car started when I turned the key. Wow! was it suppose to do that? 
 Well, hopefully I didn't hurt anything but I decided since it was running to 
back it up the 100yds up my driveway. It continued to run with the fuse in it 
and when I decided to see what happens when I removed it, it died.  Is this a 
sign of a bad relay?
I'd appreciate any input, yes I have the Bentley, but right now, I'm a little 
bewildered, and my only knowledge comes from this list and what I comprehend 
of the Bentley.


Thanks!
