IT SHUT OFF AND NOW IT WONT CRANK. THE LIGHTS DONT WORK , THE STARTER DOSNT TURN ,NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE KEY . THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ARE ALL THAT WORK. I REPLACED THE STARTER RELAY , THE NEUTRAL SWITCH , THE ELECTRONIC EGNITION MODULE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. STILL NOTHING. I LOCATED TWO FUSEABLE LINKS ,BOTH CHECKED GOOD. I CAN GET THE STARTER TO TURN BY JUMPING ACCROSS THE SYLINOIDE AND BATTERY POST ON THE STARTER RELAY. BUT CANT GET IT TO CRANK.

you have a power source failure. you need to check for power to the coil, starter motor tickle wire and fuel pump. stop throwing parts that do nothing and try diaging it correctly. i would look at the bulkhead connector under the hood at the firewall first.
