94 jimmy sudden death cyndrom

I would be looking at the security system. Does the security system disable the ignition, and the starter to avoid a theft? I would be checking there first. If you can disconnect it, or bypass it, try that and see what happens.

Well guys , it is not the ignition switch,the module,the battery,the starter,alternator,fuses,fusable links,battery cables, battery terminals...Iam getting power from the switch in both the run and the start position.Next stop,get some one else that knows more to check and how to check it. Any ideas would be great.

Im thinking the same thing, its about the only thing I do not know how to disengage completly from the vehicle.

I had something somewhat similar happen, the truck would start but if I went 5-10 ft it would quit. I'd pop the hood and check around, then it would start up again. Did this a couple of times and after futzing around under the hood discovered a loose battery terminal connection. Just enough connection that a bit of movement would connect/disconnect it. Tightened it up and it's been fine since.
Good luck!

Well fellows, its not the switch, that just about does it except for the "clifford" anti-theft device. I have a friend coming over who thinks he may just be able to do the trick, I will let you know what the evil gremlin, turns out to be, be sides the loose nut behind the wheel.Thanks for everyones help on this one.

YEEEEEEA!!!!!!!!!!! It was the dad-gum anti theft device the {clifford} device had gone bad and killed my jimmy on the spot. After paraless days and long sleepless nights of suffuring,crying ,praying,spending,and praying and more spending that was the snake in the grass,I want to thank everyone for all their prayers and advice, and thanks to, blazee ,for sticking with me on this ride through gremlin land, may the great automotive goddess bless us all.
