Thanks, I kinda knew that but just thought I 'd list a more common-sense approach in case someone without a lot of car operation knowledge was reading in case of a "next time".

I learned all about electric fuel pumps as I had a '78 VW Rabbit and two 1980 Scirocco's. They all suffered from the dreaded fuse/relay plate melting fuel pump relay socket syndrome. One time on a rainy Chicago night while I was wearing a nice suit and was 30 miles from my hotel. Fortunately, someone gave me a roll of speaker wire and I had some tools and was able to get the car running to get home. Next day, the Recall Notice arrived. True story.

Pull the aforementioned fuse for the fuel pump to kill it, and have it taken to a shop. You can keep asking people for help, but at the end of the day this is not an easy problem to diagnose based on your descriptions. Any suggestions I would have to look at would require a certain level of expertise to do. Given that you shorted the battery to shut it off, I'm not comfortable with suggesting for you to get into what may be a very difficult diagnosis and repair. Save the headache and any further damage, take it to a reputable shop.
