hi i have my dads 85 vic police and it wont start. It will turn over great run for a sec then die. When it does start it won't even get the RPM's over 400 before it dies. After it dies it will still crank over so its not losing all power. No matter how long i crank after it dies it will not start agine. I can hear a relay click when i first start cranking then when it dies. Its the relay on the passenger side finder. I don't have the same relay on my merc or my bronco i have here so i can't just swap it out. Any ideas what else it could be.

302 or 351 car? Totally different setup, so its hard to troubleshoot without that.
Still, its gonna come back to fuel or spark. Which do you not have? A snort of starting fluid through the carb or throttle body will tell you if its a fuel problem. If it runs on the ether, then you don't have fuel. If it doesn't run on ether, check for spark because you likely don't have any or enough. The actual cause will depend on what motor is there, VV and Duraspark vs CFI and TFI ignition.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
