starter, battery, and alternator good...new icm and coil....STILL WONT START ARGGH My 96 t/a has been killing me with these electrical gremlins. First it would not start back up after it had been ran and the engine was hot. I replace the coil, icm, and did the icm spacer mod. Problem solved. Now it wont start when the enigne's hot or cold and all I hear is the starter trying to crank it. I took the starter, battery, and alternator to autozone and they all tested out good. It cant be VATS because thats been tuned out. So now I have no idea what to do. This started a week ago when it stranded me and we tried to jump it and that failed. However the next day we managed to jump it when it was cold no problem....HELP!!!!

I forgot to mention that I started it whith out jumpers the other night and it ran but the dashlights and headlights started dimming, the abs light came on, and it felt like the power steering went out too. I tried holding the rpms up high for a few minutes to try and charge the battery but the voltage did not improve. This led me to believe it was the alternator or the belt but both are good.

It does crank but just wont start.
I know I should run tests on the wires/cables but Im pretty ignorant when it comes to the electrical side of cars or anything electrical for that matter. Im thinking I would need a multimeter...
