I'm lost with electrical problem, HELP! 120-130

This has me really baffled.

Couple of days ago I'm pulling into work and about halfway across the parking lot the 122 dies. I coast into a parking spot.

Car won't start, but it will fire a bit when cranking. Upon further investigation I find I have blown the #2 fuse (from the top). OK, replace this and it runs.

Try to drive and it dies after about 10-30 seconds. Replaced fuse three times, same result. It idles fine but won't drive.

Any suggestions where to start?

From factory I have changed to alternator and Bosch electronic ignition (ignition pulls from same fuse that blows but has an inline fuse as well which doesn't)

The alternator was done 1.5 years ago and the ignition three months ago. Not had problems since initial installation bugs.

Anyhow your opinion is appreciated, this is a strange one.

Thanks,

-Mario E.
