Default Need help getting my 90q started

So, my 90 90q won't start. I thought it was the starter, so I replaced it along with the ignition switch. Problem is, the car won't start. The battery is fine, and I can push-start the car and it runs fine... Any ideas?

When I turn the key, I can hear a whizz of relays... Could it be the wire to the starter? Is there some fuse that isn't indicated in the bentley?

Any suggestions for tracking this problem down would be much appreciated.

Default What happens when you try and start it?

Click click click? Or nothing at all? Or does the starter try and get things going? Maybe the wires on the starter are crossed, or its not getting main power?

Default Re: All that happens..

my 90 20v does the exact same thing...i turn the key, autocheck runs, then i go to crank it and everything just turns off, speedo/tach lights, warning lights, it all cuts out...I havent gotten to look into it yet since i just found out yesterday, but mine has been sitting for a few months, how about yours?
