So we get back from the John Walker Swap meet with by bounty, driven about 50 miles,the car running perfectly. Start it with no problem, drive to the gas station,off & on again,home etc, running great.

We decide to go to the British car show at the community college. Park it for about two hours come back it won't start.

Start checking things , fuel pump relay clicking, fuel pump running ,pressure to hose (but didn't pull a line ). Getting spark to plugs, car will run with starter fluid.

I don't feel my injectors pulsing when cranking, get my multimeter out & getting 12 volts at the 4 plug connector on the relay board. No voltage measured at the little injector connection while cranking engine WTF??

Probably two hundred British, Lucas, electric equipped cars fire up & driveoff.

I wait for the sun to go down & call AAA, my self esteem is shot!

Help please.
