I Fixed It... I Fixed It.... I Fixed It.....

I finally found the problem. thanks to all who tried to help me. it ended up being a broken ground wire next to the starter. it was broken way down underneath all the wires that go to the starter and ground. once i repaired the wire the pumped primed and i was able to start the stang no problem. i decided to start chasing wires since im an aviation electrician and figured since i changed all the parts in the fuel and ignition systems it had to be a wire somewhere. it still is a good thing i changed all those parts anyway since the gt is an 89 and had a lot of old origional parts. i learned a lot from all this so thanks to all who gave their advice. take care all.

just in case you are wondering what the problem was here is a copy of my origional post:

alright, here goes. my 89 mustang gt started inadvertently stalling while driving. mainly during turns, mostly while just parking. i would just put it in neutral and then it would start back up sometimes it would die right away but again i would just keep starting it until it ran. well one day i went to the store and came back shut the car off and when i went in it later to start it, nothing. the engine keeps turning but will not start. i changed the following parts:

fuel pump relay
fuel pump
inertia switch
fuel filter
spark plugs
engine computer

when i turn the key i do not here the pump prime at all even after changing all the above. i have to put 12 vdc directly to the pump in order to get it to send fuel, still no start. i dont see any spark at the spark plug wires when i detach it and try and make it arc to check for spark. i am at the end of my knowledge. the next thing to do is take it to a mechanic shop and have them look at it but it will cost me an arm and a leg. what else do you think it might be? if you may not know the answer please if you can pass this on to someone you know who might know the problem i would be greatfull. this is becoming a headache. i am very good with tools and working on my own. i have done all the work on my car myself due to the fact i want to learn as much as possible.

the only thing that has been done recently is the transmission was rebuilt shortly before this problem started but i think they are unrelated or could have the tranny shop messed something up? just thought i would throw that in there since it was shortly before this problem arose. thank you for your help.
