OK, then here are the possibilities:

1) intermittent contacts in the fuel pump relay (you can test with the test
light next time the car is in "no start" mode).  Or, maybe you can find a
replacement relay and try it out.

2) poor connection somewhere between the relay and the pump (look over the
connectors and general condition of the wires - everything tight and
corrosion-free?); or

3) intermittent problem in the pump motor.

I'm betting on #1.  I doubt it's #3.
