Angry reoccuring starting problem

OK, I thought I had this problem solved but it's back again! I have an '84 rx7 that will start up run for a few seconds then die and will not start again. Car cranks fine, tach needle bounces, but acts like it is out of gas. Sometimes it will start right up after an hour or so, another time it took a whole day! I replaced the fuel pump about a year ago and when I take the lines off the carb fuel comes out. This also happened once when the car was cruising, just stalled and would not start again. Could it be the relay? If it is, how do I find it? It doesnt appear to be where the Hanes manual states it should be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

the realy also cuts your spark,

get on the floor under the driver side and look up,

it is close to the center counsil

yep thats it,

just jump one wire over and its good,

had to do it on my 84 gs

but usally if it keeps tripping it will only do it once and never fix itself,

this is because you just blew your computer like me

i tore it out after that and threw it away

Does this relay cut spark on all plugs or is there more than one? (eg) one for leading and one for trailing?
