Check fuel filters…x2?
Check electric fuel pumps 1 intank 1 external check for wire connections and need full volts 12v
Fuel pump relays can fail try by passing
Does it have fuel accumulator? If blockage or not working causes issues.
Ignition keys and switch issue?
Distributor and timing issues?
Rust in fuel tank getting picked up on gauze starving fuel, then slowly falling off to allow pumps to pick up fuel again?

Suspects bad ignition switch….
manual transmission?
Ignition switch in and in the run position
If you place the car in Neutral parking brake full on.
If you jumper the starter solenoid wire straight to the battery does the starter spin and the engine start?
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.
Where are my DIY Links?

Quite easy bolt on/off to change, ignore the haynes manual about drilling out screws, simply remove the steering lock housing
