[DML] Re: sudden death



Still sounds like the RPM relay. Jump it. If the car keep running it 
was bad. You do need to have it, it's function is to shut off the 
fuel pump if the engine stalls. When it fails you get exactly what 
you are getting. 

I'd also jump around the inertia switch and see if that fixes it. 
They have been known to fail internally. The inertia switch directly 
grounds the fuel pump.
