O my GOD , A Q45 does'nt have one.

Check your starter and relay.

And read the Service manual: http://Nicoclub.com/FSM/Q45

Will the engine start and run after the starter has been jumpered? Or just turn over and try to start? How new is the battery? What happens with a battery jump from another vehicle?

My next step would be to examine both battery clamps. Is there any corrosion on the battery terminals (clean with baking soda/water)? Are the battery clamps still in good shape? Are you having trouble getting either clamp tight? Bad contact or a clamp that's not quite tight at the battery can cause your problems.

Hold off on buying a new distributor (aka CAS- crank angle sensor) for now.

Was the relay you replaced the blue relay near the right side firewall? Could it be the Ignition switch? Shift lock inhibitor? Good luck!
