The VW-Rabbit of a friend has been acting up, and I'd like to help him
save some money by trying to fix it.  It's a fuel-injection variety of
'79 or so, and displays the following 'undisciplined' behavior:

The engine stopped while driving, caused by fuel-starvation, probably.
The enginge starts, sometimes, at other times, it doesn't. It does not
seem to be a starter problem.

I'm not familiar with rabbits, but I suspect a problem with the electric
fuel-pump, working only when it feels like it, causing fuel-starvation
when it decides to take a break.  I first checked the fuse, which
seems ok, but then, to my surprise, found that the relay was missing in the
fuse-box.  That's as far as I got in a first diagnostic check-up,  and
I wonder what to make of the missing relay, and how to proceed next.

Any advice appreciated
(short of "junk it" - which is not feasable, financially)
