No power when Ignitiion is ON

My car died out yesterday and i couldn't bring it home. While I was driving, my igniton turned off, and i wasn't able to get anything to turn on. Everything, like the starter, stereo, af meter, boost meter, fuel pump, turbo timer, stereo, coil, and ignitor was off. The only thing was on were the lights and emergency flashers. It was like i couldn't get the igniton switch to go on ACC or iIGN and like the key postion was on OFF. I jumped the starter to the battery and it got power, while the key is on IGN, the starter was turnning the motor over, but nothing was on.

This sympton has happen before, but after i let the car sit for about a minute- while cranking the starter, the IGN was back on. But this time it hasn't. PRIOR to this, i have relocated my battery to pass. rear bin, with "+" to starter and "-" to chassis ground on rear strut tower and turnk. Also, my START on my ignition switch wasn't working, so i bypass the igniton switch. I wired up a push start from the igniton solenoid to push start button, push start button to IGN source from ignition switch. HELP!!!!

Thanks
Sonny

How about the main relay? (It's outboard of the brake master.)

Any connections for the turbo timer come loose?

well, i haven't checked the main relay, and my turbo timer, it was on and tight and the car just shut itself off.

Is the main relay next to the starter relay?
