Had similar issues, advice here was grounds grounds grounds. I poked at the grounds half heartedly and replaced all the 53 relays. The relays actually got me to reliable starting but now I'm dying when warm (a half minute or so after the fans kick on.) So I've actually got it apart and am really attacking all the grounds with gusto, and in the process fiddling with fuel lines as my "U" was uninsulated.

Hope to have it back together with clamped fuel lines this week, and will see if the dying hot issue is gone. If it is I'll get real fuel lines ordered and hopefully be somewhere close to an occasional commuter. Or at least reliable enough to get me through smog testing (if it even passes.)

I'll keep the board updated...

So i finally decided to jump the relays, first the fuel pump, no change, then the fuel injection, car starts
right up and didn't die so it was the fuel injection relay.
Thanks all for the help!
