[SlowWhite]

Finally figured it out. While testing the pump while hooked up like normal, only the pump was outside the fuel tank I accidentally bumped the fuel pump hanger against the back seat floor and it turned the pump on real quick. So I tried to reenact it and it happened again. Started to giggle wires and sure enough the positive wire that is inside the "white" connector that connects the plugs from the outside of the tank to the wires inside the tank is loose.

Depending on how far I move the wire the faster or slower the pump runs. The car fires right up when I fold the wires to create contact.

So looks like a new fuel pump hanger in order.
