Can't remember mate, sorry.
Is the engine management light (EML) wired in?
And have you got any fault codes through it?

Around 4? Ok thanks mate. Where abouts? Got one from battery to bulkhead, 1 or maybe 2 from by fuel rail to bulkhead. Should there be an earth on the box? And would that cause it not to start though?

Check nothing came loose when it ran, plugs, earths, bits of loom etc.
How did it cut out? Are all plugs the same? Was it a known runner when you got it?

Try a new coolant temperature sensor after my conversion car fired up ran for about 10 seconds cut out then wouldn't start again as sensor was knackered and feeding the engine too much fuel
