Car died while driving, then the fuel pump would not prime. Then worked later
When I got home the fuel pump primed right up. I don't even know where to begin testing. I jumped the service connector and there were no codes, the cel was constant. I don't want this car to die on the road again it may be further than it was today. 95 del sol d15b7

Main relay would be my first guess, can replace it or remelt the solder connections inside. Helps to take a pic if you got a decent camera, zoom in and look for a fine ring crack around the solder.

That was my first thought, but it clicked when I bumped the key this morning.

The reason now saying is that once a crack has formed it may start working intermittently. If it dies again, then it would be a good idea to take a peek inside the relay.
