make sure that one little wire going to the starter is on there tight. Mine came loose and did the same thing.

If your starter relay was messed up your electronics would activate when switching to II and then once hitting III on iginition everything would turn off and the engine wouldn't even click. I'd check the dizzy

Hmm. Could be a main fuse, though you said you checked fuses. I remember when my Ford Probe did this, it was because the postitive battery wire was too old and weak, I replaced the head of the positive battery connector and it ran perfect. Could be the same for the negative terminal as well. And I as well thought it was the main relay, though your relay could be fried. Take off the old relay, and relay it yourself with some thick grade wire

[X] Fuses
[X] Battery

[ ] Wires

Hmm, let me ponder awhile.....your question is giving me nightmares

Did your car have some kind of alarm before the swap?

Well if your alarm isn't wired properly it will seize you from starting your car, or if you took the alarm out and never patched the old wiring back up, you'll have this problem
