Default Car stalled today, Fuel pump ECU?

Today I was pulling into a parking lot and my sc400 randomly died. I still had full electrical power. I tried starting it back up, it fired up, then rpms dropped and died. I tried that again except gave it some gas this time, still fired up and died. I popped the hood, nothing looked out of the ordinary.

I try one more time and it fires right back up. I let it idle for about 10 minutes, then drove home about 15 minutes, and it didn't happen again. I immediately thought, fuel pump ecu. So later today I bypassed the ecu with a jumper wire, and took it for a 20 minute drive, still hasn't acted up again.

Through searching this seems like the standard fuel pump ECU going bad scenario. I just thought I'd check and see if there's anything else I should be looking for?

Yeah, I'd definitely suspect the Fuel pump ECU. It's one of those "SC things".
