I had the same problem your having and I found that the electrical connectors below the brake booster where corroded and frayed. So I replaced them an added a extra ground wire from the ECM grounding screw direct to the battery neg post.And check to see if you have the right relay installed if it's a after market because the fuel pump relay will have a diode and the ECM relay doesn't.
