Hook a fuel pressure guage up to the test port and start the engine. You want to see roughly 35- 38 psi fuel pressure. Wait for the engine to stall and recheck the fuel pressure guage. If it is at 35-38, you know the fuel system delivery is not at fault. If the pressure is much lower suspect a possible relay, loss of tach signal, or faulty pump. If the test concludes it is not a fuel pressure problem then you may have an ignition module problem or a sensor problem. Rule out the fuel system and post back with what you find. We can then go further.
