Its sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is bad locate the regulator on the fuel rail and remove the vacuum hose if there is fuel there its bad if not have some one turn the key on or crank the engine if fuel come out its bad. What seems to be happing when it sit for some time the regulaor leaks fuel by into the engine when you go to start it its just that its flooded out plus when you turn the key on and are trying to start it its now dumping even more fuel into the engine. When you remove the relay and crank it there is no fule going to the engine thus making it start.

Fuel shut off switch should be located in the trunk on the same side you fill your tank on. The switch is guarder and you will have to figure out which way to press it

Iwould check the fuel pump next for 12 volts . If you have it there then you need to look at the fuel pressure regulator. The way this works is one side hooks to engine manifold vacuum and the other is pressure from the fuel pump and supplys the injectors no electrical involved but if the diafram goes or leaks you would get less or no fuel to the injectors . Its kind of hard to say for sure with out seeing it but it sounds like a no fuel issue it could be the pump so you need to investigate some more to find out if it is electrical or fuel related good luck with it
