It's the PIP inside the distributor. You need to remove and disassemble the distributor to replace this. Just go to Oreillys and get a NEW distributor and install it. Don't get a REBUILT distributor, most of them are junk.

Did you replace the key tumbler OR the actual ignition switch which is under the dash and you must lower the steering column to get to?

Are you sure you jumped the correct wire? During that two minutes before it shuts off, can you shut the ignition switch off and the engine continue to run?
