[T3] erratic fuel delivery


I have a 70 squareback (fuel injection) and I can't figure out why the car will
run for an hour and then in the middle of driving it shuts down.  Then I can't
even start it for a half hour.  It turns over but won't continue running, like
it's not getting enough fuel.

Could it be the pressure sensor? I checked the resistance across both coils of
the sensor and they are both correct at 90 ohms and 350 ohms.  But, I read that
sometimes the rod between the coils will get stuck and will give this erratic
behavior.

What about the fuel pump?  Can the pump work sometimes and not work at other
random times like the problem I'm having?

I have yet to check if I have 28psi in the fuel system.  Maybe the regulater is
not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Shalom
