EJ22 OBD-1: Strange Start Problems


 

My 1987 Westfalia has a 1994 OBD-1 EJ22/25 Frankenmotor
(50k+ on the conversion done by 523Rods)
I have a strange starting issue;
- Normally the engine starts right up (just a few seconds of cranking)
- A few times now it either takes a long time?or won't fire up at all
- Still cranks perfectly?normally (high torque starter running fast)
- Also, occasionally?(and it seems related), when I turn the key to the 'Run' position and don't go straight to 'Start', the CEL flashes On and Off repeatedly plus I hear relays clicking in the back
- there are two relays (starter and Ignition) next to the ECU under the seat and one or both seem to be the ones doing this

Ideas?

Thanks,
