If i put the key to the RUN position I have full power to everything, go to start it and everything dies immediately. I've checked all the fuses, nothing seems off, could it be the ignition assembly is fubared? Thanks in advance for any help

I would probably begin by checking all of your ignition relays under the hood and in the driver side kick panel. If you google how to check a relay they have step by step directions that are simple. this step would eliminate you relays out of the equation. Definitely sounds like an ignition problem good luck keep us posted.
ADDED: After dooing a little searching I would definitely check those relays, I believe they are not holding when power is applied that's why your loosing power.

Chaluska I hope he checked the battery, their terminals, fuses, and adjacent wiring while in the process to trouble shoot this issue. If not I give up on him LOL. Common sense would to be to check the battery first(good point start with the basics)...

I feel like I checked them all but i'll go through again. What happened was I changed out the starter, it started right up, noticed a fuel leak, fixed that, tried to start it again, and nothing, just kept dying everytime i turned past run. Was worried it was the ignition switch taking a crap on me
