This is where I am at. I have a 92 5.0 that will not start. I have put new fuel relay in hoping that would fix the problem and...nothing. I can use a wire to ground out at the test port and the fuel pump will work. I can also ground at the relay and the pump will work and start but as soon as I remove the ground the engine dies. Anybody got any ideals?

PLEASE HELP!!

Are you grounding it to the same place the original fuel pump wiring is at? It is apparent you have a ground issue and may need to chase the ground wire attached to the pump.
