Engine Performance problem
1994 Chevy Impala V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 224k miles

i changed my fuel pump about 7 months ago & replaced it with the gm stock pump. i went out driving 1 day & the car shut off on me. the fuel guage went to full & the car stalled. it started right back up but since then i have been having problems. i don't drive the car very much but i went out 1 day to the bank (5mins from house) as i came out the bank the car woudn't start.fuel pump didn't hum & car refused to turn over.
it happend 3 times & im thinking it's the relay. i just pulled the relay out & it started up.. does that sound like a bad relay.. or am i just wishing on a star?

It's very possible that the relay is faulty. You can learn how to check a relay at the link below..

The relay could solve all your problems, or it may lie in faulty wiring but the relay is good to start with.
