When the engine doesn't start, are you getting spark and fuel to the engine?

If you maintain fuel pressure and have spark, either you have a bad vacuum leak, a problem with compression, or a timing problem. When it runs for those few minutes, does it run well?

Have you checked or rechecked any of these items?
