Default Owned the car for 20 years now. NEED HELP

Ok so I have a 90 Honda crx with a swapped engine. We had it running after the swap but I hardly drove it at all. Over time it eventually just stopped turning over at all. When I turn the key over all you hear is the starter click. If I jump the starter with a jumper it will turn over but not crank. Can anyone help me on where to start? I have had this car for 20 years. I have literally had the car tore all the way apart and redone it all besides like some relays here and there. I have most of the tools necessary To test the circuits.

Checked the voltage on the solenoid wire when trying to start it and it’s only getting 4.5ish volts. Any suggestions? It also seems as if it’s not getting fire. We put a little ether in and tried to start it and it tried to run but it just died.

Could be a bad wire/connection or a bad ignition switch. Check voltage coming out of ignition switch.

Checked the voltage. It was 12.5v. However I’m not getting fire.
