I think Grant and I have discussed this one through p-mail.

My Eurospec conversion does the same thing. However, my installer has been
clever enough to install a "jumper" switch which will manually energize the
fuel pump relay when it will not start. I turn the ignition switch, hit the
button for a half second and, lo and behold, it always starts. If I didn't
have this switch, I never would've taken delivery of the install. If anyone
else has a "no-start" as frequently as I have to use the switch, you have my
sympathy because I wouldn't trust the vehicle to start, ever!

Eurospec has already replaced my computer, but that didn't improve anything.
The problem is intermittent, but is definitely more prevalent after a "hot
soak". Whether it's the relay itself or the wiring, I don't know, but it
seems that the Eurospec boys are in denial on this one.

If anyone else has this problem, please p-mail me. I'd like to go back to
Eurospec and let them know how widespread this problem is and pressure them
for a fix. If I don't hear of a fix soon, I'm going to start investigating
legal remedies.
