.When the pump module is replaced most places don't make sure the inside of the tank is clean and this can do the same thing with a new pump. You might be able to replace the pump section of the fuel pump module , but unless the tank is lowered and insured to be clean , the problem can resurface.
Not a bad idea at all to drop tanks,drain, n clean. Such a bitch tho even if I run em to near empty.. old owner said it was done a few years ago when I asked him, but he lived on the coast w a hole in the fill tank line, so contamination could of happened again especially with the humidity + salt air.

Thank you for the update, keep in touch.

In relation to your question regarding the eca.

Depending on the time the descriptions changed , they were all relating to the computer in the vehicle.
First was the ;
COMPUTER
then the ECA, engine control assy
then the ECM-engine control module
then the PCM -powertrain control module all mean the same part.
If I skipped anything , sure they will correct, lol
