Default Fuel pump issues?

I replaced the fuel pump with a Walbro recently. It has been running perfectly for about 1 1/2 months now with no problems in town, highway, or at the track. Then all of a sudden my wife took a long trip away from home and it started to die on her. She would be traveling down the road and it would just die. She would pull over and wait 5-10 min and then the car would start again and then run for anywhere from 10-100 miles and die again. My question would be if the fuel pump relay could have gone bad? Car has 140K on it. I haven't looked at it because it is 500miles away now and I can't get to it.

Could be the under hood fuse block, 2000Silverbullet had a similar problem a few years back and thats what it turned out to be.
Not saying its not the pump but why would it fail then start working again.....odd?
