It sounds like you need to check out the inertia switch. AKA, fuel pump cutoff switch. I highly recommend checking this before going any further. Do you have a hatch or a notch car? If you have a hatch it is located inside the hatch to the left. You will see the hole for it. This hole is so you can hit the reset button after a wreck or after it has been tripped. These things are a PITA!!! I hate them. I have yet to see one that hasn't give someone problems somewhere down the line. To get to the point, it has a white button on top of it. Push it and see if it stays down or retracts or what. Post your results. I drove around in my 87 ranger for 3 years with this POS hotwired. Although it is not recommended, at least you will know if that is the problem. We'll see your results and go from there. BTW, the switch is black with a white button on top to be exact.
