>in my case i had a similar problem with my 4ks. it turned out to be a
faulty fuel pump relay. it had corroded contacts. when i took it apart to my
surprise, it was full of water??????. i dried it off with a blow dryer,
cleaned the corosion and reinstalled it. that was 6 mo ago. i also sealed
the relay cover with caulking <dumbo>
