Here's the deal, it has proven good starter and battery. When I jump the starter solinoid it throws sparks and the fuel pump runs for a second, but no start. The car ran a couple days ago and I have been working on it so im think theres a slight possiblity i unhooked something and forgot about it... but thats only a small chance, since i double checked.

*update: checked acc switch. nothing. thinking it might be an ignition short.

it does sound like an igition short somewhere. So in ACC nothing, how about in the ON position do you hear the fuel pump turn on for a couple seconds?
