Your original statement that this eliminates the fuel pump relay as the problem is wrong. If you give it a squirt of fuel (ether or whatever, something flammable) and it fires, it means you are not getting fuel, so you more than likely have a fuel pump issue, the pump itself or the relay. You can "jump" the relay easily and see if it runs, then you know.

MORE than likely NOT the OVP because the car WILL run without the OVP, just not very well.

For a car sitting a long time the pump may be seized, sometimes a tap with a hammer (on the electrical motor itself) will unstick it.
