Electrical Problems Options

[Loser_Cruiser]

Looking for some advice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I bought a 76 2.0L FI DL 914. It did not run right and most of the electrical was not working also. Well, now I have head, signal, brake, emergency, backup lights, starter and wipers. Horn and trunk light are still an issue.

I removed gas tank and flushed, good shape, replaced gas lines and fuel filter. Replaced plugs. points, condenser, rotor, cap and plug wires, new air filter, changed engine and transmission oil, and filter.

Car started right up and runs very nice. Runs very nice for about 5 minutes and then cuts out like it not getting gas or loading up.

Placed a pressure gauge on the FI today, and it stays at 30-32 psi when primed and running. When the car starts to cut out the pressure is still 30-31 psi. Vacuum lines look good and in the right place.

Car is a California car and loaded with the EGR equipment, EGR pump is removed.

Request some advice on the next hoop to jump thru.

Has good charge and battery. Cleaned fuse box today, has good conductivity on the ground strap. Good charging system and battery. Cleaned FI, good spray!!!
I am going to check the cyl pressure and valve tolerances tomorrow.
Running out of things I know what to look at. H E L P !!!!!!!!

important fyi, there is a LARGE ground strap that goes from the rear of the trans to the bottom of the rear trunk floor. check for clean contact and that the strap is in great condition, check the ends. this is a major ground. check the grounds behind the headlight buckets, the wires (brown as are all ground wires) either slip on or are held on with a nut. clean, clean, clean.
