Default irony of ironies - not!

I have been enjoying using the Jag as a daily driver while my "backup" Ranger gets a replacement engine fitted.
Until today, that is.
I went to get her smogged. She passed, but afterwards refused to start. She had been idling for a while.
No fuel was diagnosed. After sitting a few minutes, she started right up.
What is going on?
Please tell me it is a relay!
She has been stumbling very slightly at idle recently. I thought that it was a spark plug coil on the way out, but now I wonder if the fuel pump or its electric supply is at fault?
Thanks again,
Dan

MAF or fuel pump &/or filter could be the culprit. Did you pull codes yet, if not do so asap.
