It is very common for the ignition switch to act up in many different ways, so I highly suspect that one first of all.
The ignition switch have two wires supplying power into the switch but then the switch itself portions out the power through many different contacts/pins and most of the time when the switch fails, it is only one of the outgoing contacts/pins that goes dead.
So theoretically, you can have a fuel pump/fuel injection system failure but the engine will still crank over. Or vice versa.
The different pins are in our car tekkie language called.
+30 incoming power from battery
+15 fuel injection supply to name a few
+54 aux power for many uses including ignition
+X head lights on some models
+50 starter engagement
+B
The list I wrote is not complete since some of the pins feed many more things.
What I see most of the time is that either +15 or +54 is glitching while the other pins are still supplying power correctly.
