Runs great for about 5 minutes, then it begins. Cycle the key and its good for about 15 seconds then back again.
I don't consider myself unqualified when it comes to mechanics, but it sure feels like it when I try to work on this car.

Consider this test: unplug the fuel pump relay, and jumper the sockets that correspond to pins 30 & 87 (usually 7 & 8). This will cause the pump(s) to run continuously. Start the engine, and see if the symptoms persist. If this effects a cure, the relay is indicted. If the symptoms are unchanged, there may be a pump problem.
