Check all ground connections to the frame, too. The ignition module is supposed to short to ground when you turn off the key, killing spark. Try running a ground wire directly from the battery...

Also check the gas cap, if it's not venting correctly, a vacuum will be created in the tank and fuel starvation will occur, usually in 5-10 minutes. Just crack the cap open a hain and see if that...
