First of all thanks to all for their inputs. I think I've stumbled
upon the problem. Let me share with you what I found.

I tested the radio noise supression relay when the trouble first
began and made sure that I had 12v to the hot side of the injectors,
and the car started, so I thought that it was fine. But when the
car quit on me yesterday, I took another look at it and this time
I could feel that the harness wires going to the relay socket were
not very tight. Loosing this input to the injectors would certainly
make the car act like it is starving for gas (because it is of course
but not because of a fuel delivery system problem to the injectors).

I firmly pushed the wires back up into the socket base and the car
started right up. I managed to test drive it for an hour without
further incident (which is longer than this car has ever run since the trouble began.

I hope this fixes it for me and I suggest that folks having what
seems to be fuel starvation problems check here early on in their diagnosis.

thanks again
