Default 82' SC suddenly will not start??

Hope to get some feedback on what this might possibly be. 82' SC has been driving perfect for the last year, no issues, always idles correct, starts on first or second crank. Car sat in garage for a week and then will not start, just cranks. I pulled the fuel pump relay and jumped 30/87a and it fires up first crank, idles for 3-4 seconds then dies. Crank again and same thing, idles for a few then dies. (added gas today just to make sure not a faulty gas gauge) So, seems to be getting fuel and has spark then? What else could I start looking at? Cheers!

Strange Update: Purchased a new (cheap) DME relay, the CSI noise was very different compared to old relay. It started up and ran poorly. I put the old DME relay in and it then fired up and idled/ran correctly. Perhaps the contacts? Perhaps the old relay got jumped back to life? No clue.. but it's running as perfect as it always has.
