So now the truth comes out! You never said anything about the neutral safety switch. I would just by pass it temporarily to see if that is the problem.

Hiya,

what you have (currently) is the following:
a) no key in ignition and screwdriver trick -> engine turns (fan spinning) but engine will not run
b) key in ignition postion (not start position) and screwdriver trick: does the engine start ?
if it does the same thing as in a) engine turns over but doesn't start, then you have no 12V+ coming from the ignition key to the starter relais.
The most common problem is the neutral safety switch.

if you disconnect the neutral safety switch I belive you should have a connector there. Is this connector 1 pin or 2 pin (how many cables go into this connector?) Let me know and I'll tyell you on how to bypass.

yes i have a fealing that i have narrowed it down to that now. ive replaced 2 of the 3 that i thought it was. so what do you want me to find on it? i believe there is 4-5 wires that come thru the floor and into the shifter. ill go check. do i just disconnect it?

You can't just disconnect you have to disconnect and then run an jumper.
