You should have someone turn the key on and off a few times while you
hold a finger on the ECU power relay. It should click on and off with
the key, every time. Does it?

The ECU turns on the FP relay for a second or two when the key is turned on but after that it only runs the FP relay if it thinks the engine is turning.
