Can't figure it out!

My son's 85 Bronco II stopped running a while back. It will start sometimes, but only runs for 30 seconds or so, then dies. We changed out the alternator, battery, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, distributor cap and just a few minutes ago, the O2 sensor. Still nothing. We did get it to start today by pouring a little gas in the carb (I know, not a good idea)...started right up, then died about 30 seconds later. I'm not the most mechnically inclined, but I can't figure out what to do next! By the way, when it DOES start, it runs real nice and smooth (for the 30 seconds!). HELP!

Maybe try a new ignition coil or module.

Check the fuel pump, it might be weak or dieing. Also check the strainer on the fuel pickup in the tank.
