update: I got the new pump in yesterday and the car started immediately without issue...drove it about 20-30 minutes and then again an hour or two later without issue. I was able to fill the gas tank using some gas from a gas can without issue though I doubt the output was as much as gas pump. I drove the car again today for about 2 hours without issue and filled the tank up at the pump without issue but admittedly I was pumping gas at about 2/3 the normal rate as I wanted to be careful and not get doused in gas again. The spoiler issue seems to have fixed itself as well so maybe it had just been a while since it had been cycled up/down. I bought a no-name pump like many have and read plenty of reviews of them being wired backwards but the pump I got was wired the same as the factory unit and went in without issue.

Happy to hear you got it sorted out!
