Here is what I need you to try. Open the hood and on the passanger side, there is a relay box. Open it and locate the electronic engine control (EEC) relay. When it happens, try to switch it with another relay in the box with the same part number to see if it starts.

Let me know what you find. Also, the relays are cheap. You may want to get one and have it with you to try this rather than trying to switch them.
