I was told they just break, but i am curious if they can short out from time to time?

They absolutely can have a mind of there own. I have 6" 130w Hella lights behind my grill, on a relay of coarse. I was doing a night job in a doctors office and around 1 am some one was flashing there light toward the office. We all just figured it was a couple of kids screwing in the parking lot. Then the lights stayed on from about 2 until 7am when I found out it was my car flashing the lights. Luckily I have 2 batteries so the car started just fine, but the fog light wouldn't turn off until I pulled out the relay.
So yes they can short out from time to time, even when they are not bouncing around

It may not be the fastest or prettiest, but i can pretend

I fail to see any possible way a relay can lead to a backfire.
Or an under-producing fuel pump for that matter.
