[T3] Frustrating stalling problem

[Norman Roush]

I checked the screw holding the FI relay that you and Jim Adney mentioned and it is tight.  The car starts easily but runs for only 4-5 seconds before it stops.  It doesn’t run rough before it stops, it just stops.  Could this be a fuel problem?

Not much will cause a true NO run, head temps sensor, trigger contacts,
grounds, fuel pump relay or wiring to any of these will, I’d concentrate on these areas, and that screw that holds the FI relay under the back seat, Russ used to have a nice story about that...

Back on 2/6/12 I wrote about a hesitation/stall problem I had with my '68
Sqbk w/MT and stock FI. I thought I had the problems worked out (loose
connections and bad dizzy clamp). The car has been starting and running
well until Friday afternoon when it stalled at a red light. I could not get it started and had it towed home. I got the car started but it will not keep running. Dwell, timing, battery and valves are OK. It appears that fuel pressure is OK but I do not have a gauge to test. It starts easily but will stall, sometimes after just a few minutes, sometimes after several minutes. What connections will kill the engine if not tight? I can be sitting in the driver's seat with the engine idling and it will stall so it seems like minimal vibrations may be part of the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks,
