it cranks up normally but whne i release the ignition the engine dies out and its not the battery. the battery is good i was thinking it might be the main relay or the ignition switch.

Might not help but maybe make sure the battery is tightly clamped on... my car wasnt starting a while ago until I realized my positive had shaken loose from the battery post... worth a look

You mean when you let go of the key? Definitely the ignition switch if that's the case. The spring will wear out sometimes.
