First of all, don't go replacing any more parts until you know that they are bad.. Check the ignition switch. See if power is making its way to the starter. If not, check main fuses and ignition switch. Are your lights dimming while you are trying to turn the engine over? Check for loose grounds. Do you hear the starter clicking? If so find a way to manually turn that engine over, just to make sure that it isn't locked up or seized. There are so many things that can make an engine not turn over, but I hope that this helps a little. Good luck with her,,

Get a book on the car and look up the ignition switch.. I can't remember where it is on that car.. Most of the time it is on the column somewhere..Check the switch before you replace it though.. Find which wire goes to the solonoid from the switch and see if it has power while the key is in crank position. If there is power, the switch is most likely good. Also check for power at the solonoid while someone is cranking the car.. The metal fuses are circuit breakers..
