Nevermind, I found fuel pump relay. It is under the passenger kick panel, staring me in the face. It said 8zyl Kickdown, so I dismissed it as something to do with the trans kickdown circuitry. After I figured out the size and looked again, I figured out it was the one. The other thing that threw me off was that I was looking for an 8-pin plug. This has a 12 pin plug, but only 7 pins on one end are used.
Now If I could only get the problem to re-occur when I am driving it. So far it only acts up when my daughter is driving, and I can drive it around and have no problem. Thanks again to Peter and Jim for helping out!
