Since I just replaced mine on '95Aero, I'll assume that everyone has same problem....
Actually though, the intermittant start makes the fp suspect to me. Seems worn brushes sometimes lose contact, and motor doesn't work. Some have had luck pounding on the bottom of the gas tank to restart the pump. Todd at eEuroparts indicated that it is not unusual for pumps to fail with colder weather.
I did not have bounce from the tach, nor hear any pump running when connecting fuse 14 and 22 to test the pump.
Do a bit of a search for fuel pump on this board, and there is a fair amount of info.
If it is the pump you have two options. The entire pump/sending unit costs $380 from site sponsor. It is fairly easy to install. The second option is to replace the motor in the sending unit for ~$80. This can be tricky, and many have had problems. However, my indie and others on the board have done it, and the savings is significant. Do not use the rubber hose and clamp technique, as that is pretty short term. The above info is true for '95 9Ks, not sure what you are driving.
Try checking plugs right after cranking for a bit. Is there a strong gas smell/wet plugs? Do all of the plugs look good? Should give you some hints on what is going on.
