Sounds like the corroded solder joints in the wiring harness that plagues 1st gen daks. See this link for details on the problem.

test for a bad relay, IIRC the power runs FIRST through the ASD then the fuel relay. Take ASD relay out and put in starter relay spot and turn truck over with key, if starter no work the relay is bad.

hmmm are you sayin your losing power to the relay itself or beyond the relay? IIRC there are a few other parts that tell the computer to stop providing power for spark/fuel but I dont remember top of head which ones. Have you checked for codes? assume you have. You sure ALL 3 SPLICES were fixed? group of blue wires, group of red with stripe and group with 2 black and two white (or gray) wires. two are right by relay box (front of or below), the red group is on firewall near steering column.
