Is your dash brake light indicator light up?

If so change your ground strap.

I'm going for the accumulator too
the fuel pressure didn't hold and you have no cold start enrichment to help you out. I would pull off the vent side hose of the accumulator, if fuel comes out the diaphram is shot .

+1 on having a "good", spare DME relay (which also houses the fuel pump relay). That may not be your issue (in this case), but it eventually will be. No 3.2 owner should be without a spare unless you like being stranded .

No accumulators on 3.2s, and
No DME relays on SCs...
