Ok so I ordered a fuel pump relay on EBay today maybe it will do the job. When I got in my car today to leave work it was 98 degrees and like always if its very hot in my car it doesn't want to start. After a minute it started I drove about 10 miles it started sputtering and died after about 3 tries it started and drove another 7 miles home. Hope this relay fixes it.

Might be the relay, but I'm betting on the pump. The brushes get worn and the car moving around will break the connection (it also helps that the bushings on the shaft are also getting loose). I had a climate fan that would turn off when I made a right turn, seems like a similar sort of problem. I've never had the fuel pump get quite this bad as they get noisy and I've changed it out, but I could see it happening, and your car it getting to the right age for the pump to be worn out.

I have replaced the fuel pump still doing it . I dropped the kick panel on the dash pulled the 372 relay the fuel pump one and the posts were burnt I cleaned them up and put it back in and boom car runs like a top ! I ordered a new relay just in case and it should be here today. That relay also runs the injectors and the MAF so I figure better of with a new one since it seems to be the problem.
