and by the way... so you are cirtain that only the AC and Starter are the only two things to click under the hood... what if there is a click( clicks immediately when turned to on position, not start ).. what could possibly be going out.. because i know its not suppose to click.. lol.. and sometimes it doesnt even click at all, and just reciently it died again, when i tried to start the car it did a series of 4 irratick clicks in the on position... i have a funny feeling whatever is clicking is causing all my problems..

the fuel pump comes on when u turn the key on. u need to clean (use wire brush) the terminals and wire ends at the battery and at the juntion box, its on the passenger side by the battery. its red and should have battery and other wires coming to it, also clean the ground juntion wire ends, its in the same area.

the parts book calls it a theft deterrent relay and show it as closer to the pass door. both the relays have the same part # 12077864

but would that relay being out cause the motor to crank and not start, and also die suddenly (while driving) (or parked) (at any speed and RPM )?
thanks for the holding my hand through all of this! haha! i am really ignorant as to the whole electical of a vehicle.. i am use to the more mechanical side than electrical.. ur awesome man!!
I have decided i am going to get her back on jack stands and systematicly check all the electrical parts with a volt meter and make sure all my grounds are grounded right and everything is in order.

your right it would not turn over. man. lets see have u changed the ignition modual yet? mine went out in my first camaro and it would drive me nuts. id get three or four miles down the road and it would die. i would find a toe home and come back and it would start right up.
