this is kind of a bump from a few months ago but heres where im at with this my car is running due to "ghetto rigging" but i obviously narrowed down the issue and thats where you come in........

fuel pump works ( i know this because the car runs when i ran power to it with a toggle switch directly into fuse box)
fuel pump relay works ( i bought two new and two at the junk yard and it still wont start with out my ghetto wire)

so what do i do now. i was thinking its more then likely a short some where but i remember reading something about a blue wire under the hood some years ago when doing a fuel pump and i was just looking for a reference. This is a 88 Auto Carb

post script
i feel like im buring alot more gas then i did before this ghetto rig

Have you tried following the diagnostic procedure for the fuel relay in the shop manual? Follow each step and if you get a negative result, it will tell you what exactly to investigate. If this checks bad, then check this wire, and so on.
