94 NC Ford Fairlane 3.9lt (swapped engine 6 months ago), engine dies and no spark after 1 to 2 minutes from cold then it might start for a few seconds after that till I flatten the battery. I have cleaned the dizzy cap, replaced the solenoid, several relay's, including bank of relays under the overflow resevior/battery except the bosch relay (didn't have one to try) electrical doodad attached to the dizzy (forgot name), spark plug leads swapped fuses around all seem fine and even swapped the EEC-IV module. I'm at a loss can anyone help? (Note got an 89 NA Fairlane for spares)

Check the bank of relays under the overflow resevior/battery....I had s**t loads of troubles trying to get mine started a while ago it would start or at least fire like it was going to then die...even put it on a flat bed and had it taken to the local mechanic..after replacing cap/rotor/plugs/leads and pulling out the dizzy it turned out to be a dodgy relay (not sure which one though)

Thanks, I did check under the reservoir bottle but I didn't have a bosch relay with an extra tab (5 instead of 4)to verify if the closest one to the engine was faulty also it has larger tabs then the rest.
