ditto Jonathan's remarks..fuel pump relay should be first item to go if
you have a spare you can swap.  Leave the rest alone until proper
diagnostics have been performed.

Regards,
Dick

Hello Folks just wanted to ask a question regarding my 1984 380 SEC
euro/gray. I was given this beautiful machine by my dad, he had parked
the car for 1.5-2 years without driving/starting it. I drained the tank
and the tank screen was clear of any dirt or foreign material also a new
sender for the fuel guage. New Bosch spark plugs, cap, rotor button, &
wires all replaced. The reason I am emailing into the group basically
the 380 runs and drives great then when running at normal operating
temp, the engine just stops and the amber light on the fuel guage comes
on. After waiting for five-ten minutes the engine starts right up. I
have asked several shops that have worked on my car, they said that they
will just have to start from the back and head toward the front. I have
ordered a new Bosch fuel pump, new iginiton unit. Checked the fuel relay
did not have any wires loose, any help would be greatly appreciated.
