Default putting a awitch on my fuel pump Need help fast

Alright heres the deal. After i installed my 331 stroker, i took it somewhere to get it tuned, and instead of using the 94 computer i went with the 93, since they are easier to tune off of. Anyways when the guy was changing the computers out, we went to start it afterward and the fuel pump wouldnt work..so he said he would tow it down to richmond, and get me a new harness. So the new harness went in and i went and picked the car up like a week later, and for about 2 months everything has been good. But on friday i was driving to a friends house and the car just dies..I turn the key to start it again and i have no fuel pump.. No power going to the fuel pump, so its gotta be all that wiring in the ECU. i have checked everything else that it could possibly be. But my question is, can i put a switch to were i turn the fuel pump on, and run that switch of a 12 V power that come on when i turn my key? Need help Thanks

so when the radio is off, you wont have a fuel pump? Why dont you just run a remote switch and keep it separate from the radio? not only that but on some cars (I dont remember if the pony does this or not) all the accessories turn off when you crank the starter, leaving all the power to start the motor; effectively making it so whenever you try and start the motor your pump wont be pumping.

I know it( ^^^^^ ) does on my 94. If I am listening to the radio in accesory position and then go to start my car the radio, takes a sec to kick back on, as well as the AC/Heater fans.
