1983 900 Turbo FI Problem Update

Finally popped the hood on my FREE 1983 900 Turbo, the one that would run for one second after starting, then die.
The cold start problem was solved when I noticed one clamp missing from the red hose coupler between the turbo pressure side and the cast intake pipe. A new hose clamp allowed me to get the car running for a few minutes anyway. I found a hole in the vacuum elbow on top of the intake manifold behind the throttle butterfly. Six bucks for that.
Now the car runs like glass until the temp gauge starts to move, then cuts out and won't restart. Waiting an hour allows a restart. Then it happens again.
I started thinking ignition module problem but I don't recall this being a problem with Bosch modules. Plus, the car doesn't really warm up. Fuel pump, which is loud already, gets real whiny just before it goes dead. Temps in the forties today in LA so I'm wondering if the thing is dying after the cold start injector cuts out.
Any thoughts? My Bentley manual has not arrived yet.
