EEC power relay? Where is it?

Thanks guys. I found the computer but I haven't yet found the relay, but I sure it's close. It happened to me again the other day. I pulled out onto the road and when I stomped it, it picked up for a second then just died. And this time it didn't crank for awhile. Well come to find out if I shake the TFI while the key was on I could here some sizzling like wires making a bad connection. And if I unplugged it and then turned the key on then plugged it back in it sizzled even more. Sounded ugly but I had no choice. After the plug and unplug bit When I tried firing it up it hit a lick , then no more. Finally after several tries of plug and unplug, it fired off. I guess it has to be bad wiring, plug or something. That's the second TFI in 6 months. Could the actual connection points on the plug be to loose. Also there is a lot of grease around this plug(looks like dielectric grease. Any suggestions. What about the pickup inside the distributor?
Thanks
John
