Hello, H-T! Another round of bugs to sort through!

Vehicle: 1998 Civic Hatch w/ B16A + S4C Trans & EK9 ECU

Last night I went to leave my apartment and stalled the car like a dummy and when I went to restart it, the fuel pump wouldn't prime and my fuel gauge bottomed out and wouldn't move and I knew I had a half-tank.
Main relay is known good and did its normal 3 second check followed by a single click but couldn't hear the fuel pump prime.

So after 10 minutes of letting it sit, it started right up and the fuel gauge worked again.

I'm not even sure where to start looking. It's obviously not a fuse because it all worked again. Oh and the fuel filter is only about 1.5 years old.

Any ideas, H-T?

Check the fuel tank plug and ground wire under the back seat. Remove the seat start the engine and shake everything around to see if you can get it to stall and/or the gauge to drop.
