Is your fuel pump near the trunk where the power comes off the battery?

Also, those crimp connectors on the pump look questionable, especially the black ground wire. I could see the bare copper wire thru the back of the yellow plastic insulator.

I had a bad crimp connection on the fuel pump relay. The car would run fine around town, but on long drives (2+ hours drive straight), the car would loose fuel pressure, and stopped running. Baffled me awhile, until the connection failed completely (crimp location burned/melted insulator). After that, I pull and discard those plastic insulators, crimp/solder the connections, and put adhesive backed heat shrink over the soldered joint.
