After about 45 min running idle, it stopped.  Fuel press. was down to 15.
Turning ignition on did not activate the pump.
I changed the 24 relays, no difference.  Put in a different computer, same.
I was working on it fast but not fast enough to have maybe enough time lapse
that it would start again anyway.  Nevertheless, I cleaned up the frame and
the end of the ground wire and put a new SS screw in there.  Then it
started.
Now, I'm not sure whether it would have started again anyway or not as it
has cooled down by that time.  But it's running now and I put back all the
original 24 relays and the computer.
Holding fingers.
Germany won against Urugway.

OOOops, it has just stopped.  I'll go and see what it is.
