Default Aaarrgghh.... This starting/running XR3i MFi k-Jetronic doing my nut in

Fault:
ignition on pump primes, fuel at metering head, fuel warm up and injector pipe on metering head (pic below)
As soon as it starts 2 seconds cuts out stalls....

The car ran before but ran rich and idle was a bit high and never dropped after the engine warmed up, BUT it did not have a Fuel Pump Relay see below

Things if done to the car since buying it in October:

New plugs/HT leads
New coil
K&N air filter
oil and filter change
injector cleaner in tank
2 replacement Fuel Pump Relays Purchased 1 original purple & 1 new Lucas, Have tried both of them as previous owner did not have one fitted he had Ignition live going to relay holder to constantly run pump and could hear the pump a little noisy.
Have cleaned the air sensing plate or whatever its called that sits with the fuel metering see pic

Any help most appreciated or is there anybody in kent that specialises in K-Jectronic fuel injection system
