Thank you. The relay was behind the glove box in a panel. Found the relay was stuck on and burned off a wire behind the control panel. Fixed wire, replaced relay and all is well.

I received a few helpful replies, the one from Keith seemed to be on the right track, but we never were able to pin down the failure. In the end we had swapped out the computer twice, the ignition control module, all three coils, crank sensor, cam sensor, and ... Trouble codes: P0321, P1361 (IGNIITON CTRL TOGGLE ERROR Current Code), VAR10.
