Hi guys,
Thanks for all the tips.  I thought it would be the fuel pump, since I could
hear relays clicking, had voltage at the pump connector, but the pump would
only turn on 1/3 of the time.  But last night I connected 12V straight to
the pump connector, and the pump ran every time.  So then I looked at the
two engine management relays, the big 30A Bosch ones that sit under the
tail, right in front of the ECU.  Pulled them, they looked fine, tested them
with 12V on the control coil, they clicked and made contact on the switched
connections every time.  So I put them back in, hooked up the fuel pump
wiring, and tried the key.  The first time, nothing.  Every time after that,
the pump ran fine.  I didn't try starting, as it was really late.  I'll try
that tonight and see how it goes.  Seems like an electrical gremlin at this
point - something is maybe marginally bad, like a wire or something.

Btw, you guys were mentioning injector relays.  What are injector relays?  I
don't see any of those on the wiring diagram I have.

Thanks,
John
