Default '83 US 928 short run then stop issue

The problem started where the car would just run from the cold start valve. XVI relay new, bridged it also. Checked for voltage at terminal 30 on XVI, no voltage. I took apart a two pole (spade) connector (connector V4) near the right strut tower behind the jump terminal. The car starts and runs for about a minute then turns off. It started ran then stalled this way three times before I closed shop. I've cleaned grounds. Does anyone know the locations on the car where circuit 30 goes through a mechanical connection. I believe I have a poor connection somewhere. Thank you.

The above issue was a combination of fuel starvation from the tank to pump hose and the V4 connection at connector V pin four on the bottom left of the fuse/relay panel.

Thanks for the followup! I've got an '83 as well and always watch threads like this with interest "just in case." What was wrong with the hose... and what does the connector you mention do, what circuit?
Cheers!

The hose was a standard fuel line not the molded hose from Porsche. It was cut a little to long and developed a kink over time. The circuit V4 is on is 30, hot all the time straight to the battery. The spade on V4 wasn’t making good contact.
