dodgy earth?

could be a earth, had a similar problem with a 300zx, it turned out to be the fuel pump wires on top of the tank had corroded and were making a bad connection.

try the fuel pump relay

mine was doing the same the other day check the condition of the spades on the relay mine were a bit coroded just gave them a quick clean up with emery cloth good as new :thumb:

i'd say the connections on the fuel relay need a clean

Sounds just like what happened when my fuel relay was knackered. Sometimes it'd start fine, sometimes it would prime but not start, sometimes it wouldn't prime or start, and sometimes it would do neither.

Try (temporarily) bypassing the relay with an ign live to the pump and see if it solves the problem.
