You might want to check the timing, and possibly do a valve lash adjustment. I had a similar problem once, it would start and sound like it had a cam and in a few minutes would die, but that was my problem. Do you have any cel's?

You replaced the main relay with one from a salvage yeard did you open either one up and check for bad solder connections?
