It is called the "main relay" and is located under the drivers side lower dash. Common problem on them is poor solder, you can open them up and re-solder to fix. It is pretty easy to see the cracks, normally they are on one or more of the solder points in the middle of the board. Temporarily sometimes you can give the lower dash a whack with an open hand and it sometimes gets the connection back enough to start and run for a little while.
