Default Problems starting 93 Del Sol. So stuck...

Hey all, Ive been having a lot of issues getting my car to start. Ive replaced the battery, alternator, and starter. the person I bought it from replaced the distributor. I also pulled out and cleaned the IACV because of prior issues of clicking on start(like when the battery is dead)/fluctuating idles.

The issue now is, when i go to start the car, either I will get no CEL, oil, battery light, or the CEL and oil light will flicker and click a lot. i hear (i think) the fuel pump when i go to start.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

You're losing power to the whole car. This is usually:
Bad connection at the battery
Bad main ground connection from the battery to the body and engine
Faulty battery

All of these can be checked with a voltmeter.
