I'd start by geting it to run, no one here can diagnose all these issues on line. Do you have 12v to the starter solenoid when starting, does the security lite on the dash stay on? Are the battery grounds and connections clean and the cables good? Voltage checks may be ok but not when they are loaded.

the car now runs didn't do anything special. i think that the ac compressor was locking up and causing high current draw when trying to start. have tried to reproduce no start and have not been able to reproduce no start since ac compressor finished spewing metal from clutch\pulley. found coolant leak hose on radiator fill neck. haven't fixed leak yet all i need is a clamp and the 5 min to fix. i still think even after fixing leak and bleeding coolant that the coolant light will flash.
