Vehicle stalled at traffic lights has been running fine for last four years since EMU refurb but now no fuel at injector rail, pump appears to run okay fuel pump relay appears to be working okay and relay fuse okay

Pump disconnected from vehicle runs okay connected to 12v power source but when connected by vehicle harness independent of fuel tank, it runs as ignition turned on but stops almost immediately.

With everything connected but pipe to engine disconnected no fuel is pumping as ignition is turned on.

Fuel tank is half full or half empty as the case maybe.

Explanations or ideas as to what to try next or similar problem fixed are welcome.
Tom.:confused:

Pull the fuel pump relay and bridge pins 7 and 8 so that the fuel pump runs all the time for testing and see if it will start.
