You got it Jason. As you know, the FP relay is just a high current switch for the FP. WHen the relay is yanked or one of its terminals interrupted (e.g., the inertia switch is tripped, as it feeds the positive coil terminal in the relay), the car will crap out pretty quick.
The FP simply cant work with no FP-relay. But if the EEC relay is latched, it can still be the culprit. Just checking the thin gauge control wires at the FP relay will tell you if a signal is being erroneously sent to the FP relay (and it's simply doing what it is being told to do), or if the FP is staying on, even though it's 'not being told to.'
Oh, the relays have no bearing on the Air fuel ratio. It's just that if you have a slightly leaky injector, normally it only leaks if there is pressure in the rails, and that's normally while the car is running or just after shutting it off. But having pressure ramming the back of the injector non-stop with the car off (without the motor burning said fuel) could flood a cylinder. I kinda doubt this is your issue at all - it is likely something else. You might need to tweak a file in the TwEECer or something.
I remember the dark and dreary days up there. Not as bad as Alaska in the winter, but still not nice (at least snow reflects light at night. Dark and rainy is just dark and miserable).
