You say that the original column was fouling the brake linkage, but didn't say exactly what was happening.  I have used an Alfa Romeo steering column on mine with some pedals from a Subaru WRX.  The brake pedal would hit the steering column when depressed so I just bent the brake (slightly) over and down to avoid the column.  Works great.  This may not be your problem however.

The fuel pump is run through the ECU so that it will not run all the time if the engine dies.  You will notice that on most cars the fuel pump comes on when you turn on the switch and then shuts off after a few seconds.  The fuel pump will shut off if the engine dies for some reason.  This is a safety feature so that in the event of an accident and the engine dies the pump doesn't continue to pump and possible pump fuel and cause a fire.  Don't wire the pump so that it is always on with the switch.

Agree. I would not mess with ECU, first verify fuel pump not turning on first. If not I would try power up fuel pump and see if it runs. It could be there are other things that it could effect. It could leave it in limp mode.

Thank you very much for the tip.
I watched the Vid, and it just seems that if it's only killing the fuel pump, it would be safer and easier to just rewire the fuel pump to a line that is hot when ignition is turned on, rather than risk taking apart and fooling with the guts of your ECU?

I had to defeat the imobilizer on a Honda S2000. I realize not same car but all the imobilizer did was shut off power to fuel pump. Your mechanic may want to start there to see if fuel pump is running when trying to start.
