Larry-
It is quite obvious there is no problem with the car. It just wants to keep
driving! It very obviously does not like to stop and sit around. My advice
is to find a good, long, open road, and make her happy.
Oh, that and check the actual fuel pressure. With the Heralds, you can
reduce the fuel pressure by putting a thicker fuel pump gasket in between
the pump and the block.
