This article should get you going. Remember to start from the top and work your way down the checklist. You might find problems you never knew you had!

When you're done with that, or want to have a look at almost everything else, use this:

Hope this helps.
Edit -- If you still have questions after reading through those checklists and looking at the diagrams and such, fire away.

Try pulling the computer out and check for loose wires in connections. My car did this awhile ago and it took me awhile to trace that one down.
Have you tried swapping computers, it's rare that they go out, but mine did. Autozone has remans for $100.

imo-You have a bad connection in your ignition system. I can't tell you exactly where without the diagram. I believe what is happening is: When you release the key, no current is going to the starter, so you get enough voltage to the ignition to get spark. If your battery voltage stays above 9V when cranking, it can only mean (imo) that you have at least one poor connection in the ignition system so that you are not getting enough to run the spark while the starter is cranking. Here is a quick way to tell if I am correct, get a second battery that you can jumper cable directly to the starter. Turn the key to run, then jumper the starter with the second battery. If it starts up, you'll just need to chase down the electrical issue.
