Icon2 Car starts but immediately dies

I don't know the significance but it did this in the past: it would start up and die off right away, but i could get it to stay started eventually after 2 or 3 tries and it happened more and more frequent until finally it just wouldn't go. After replacing the main relay nothing changed. My friend fixed up this part inside the ignition sys:it has four springs in it and is located inside a cyclindrical part that the five wires go to on the opposite side of the cylinder where the keys go in. It was fine for a day, then same thing was happening. I went to junkyard and got the part i described above, installed it, and it was fine for the next 2-3 and then it went back to dying off immediately. I'm assuming it is a bigger issue that affects the part i keep replacing, as you can tell im not very mechanically adept. Thank you for your time.
