Hi dotluvsrick,

Thank you for the donation.

Under no clicking conditions with components working, you need to check :
1. Ignition switch.
2. Starter circuit.
3. Security system.

Are the dash lights coming on when ignition switch is turned on?

The diagram of the circuit should help you to understand the starting system.

The engine stalled while driving so it could be a failed PCM ( Engine Computer) which is part of the starting circuit.

Let us start by testing the starter motor.
Unplug the starter relay.
Bridge terminal 79 and 87 with a fused jumper wire and if the starter cranks, it is good.
