On any diagnostic, I go through the basic tests. I wouldn't even suspect the fuel pump, without checking the fuel pressure.

The tcc is a good idea, on older transaxles I unplugged the electrical connector, just to see if it acted any better. I can't say it is safe to leave unplugged. I'm not a tranny person.
