Dennis,
Sounds like you have a relay/wiring problem.
Only time ECU would shut the pump down is for the 4k RPM shut off or for
overboost. If it runs the ignition it will/should run the pump.

The ECU triggers the pump and uses the same signals it uses to control the
ignition.

This means you have a non ECU related issue.

Both for start up. Then only the speed sensor. However this is probably
not your problem since ignition is functioning correctly (car runs).
SOme folks would install Coupe/4kq to "fix" the overboost or 4k RPM cutout.

Did you check the relay for both, correct part and function?
Wiggling might not be enough if the brake is on the ECU end.
Also, check if during cranking, the wire from the ECU that controls the
Fuel Pump Relay switches to ground.
Hope this helps.
