O.K. The fuel pump relay will do exactly as you have explained. The overvoltage relay will also cause problems by turning off the power supply to the ECU. The temp sensor on the head is reponsible for about 25% of fuel mixture but I dont suspect it though it could be the problem. These are easy to check.
