The car should crank, even if the main relay is bad (you just wont get fuel). When you turn the key to the ON position, the check enging light should illumiate for a couple seconds and then you should hear the main relay click over as the light turns off.
Do you hear the main relay click?
Does the car crank?
- When the tach starts jumping around, it is usually a sign of a bad ignitor inside the distributor or a bad connection at the ignitor. Check if you are getting spark when cranking.

i wasn't getting any lights (check eng. batt. oil, seatbelt)or fuel at all when i turned on the ign. only the radio and heater came on. and when you guys say igniter . do you mean coil or the Control Module
If you cant crank the car, then you must have a problem with the battery, starter, or the fuses. (Forget about the ignitor if you cant even crank the car.)
Check the battery, ground cables, and the fuses in the engine bay.
