hey, good call there .
was hoping an electronics guru like David B would have a theory.

all I've got so far is .......it's really not a big deal.....or,
 grounds come  to mind. I'd try another fuel pump relay cause it's easy
......( and ecu )
any serious vanagon list member would have a spare one  of those relayhs
around........like in the emergency parts under the back seat.

I have seen the WEIRDEST things in the whole world on cars.........and it
was ground connections - many times.
things love to 'feedback' the other way if there is high resistance in the
ground connections...........though you wouldn't think that would cause
double fuel pump pre-running, but grounds always have to be considered.
