Check the fuel pump connector for proper voltage, intermitment opens, check the connectors and check the fuel pumps resistance. Could be a shotty pump.

well its kind of hard to think of anything cause we cant physically look at the car...if the pump is good..check the grounds, connections, fuses, etc. - process of elimination

there is a growing number of OBD1 ECUs that are having fuel pump problems due to the age of the parts inside. There is an electrolytic capacitor (that goes bad) that will stop the ECU from turning on the fuel pump.
Temperatures will change how the dieing cap reacts, so you may be getting hints that it needs service.

If you know someone who can solder on boards, for the cost ($2 max for the part) have the cap replaced.
