Sounds like bad ignition switch or a bad connection. I would disconnect the
starter cable from the relay and check if the coil gets 12V in the 'start'
position. If it doesn't, follow the wiring back to the switch.

take out your ignition module, and have it tested at Autozone for free, or
just replace it for $30.
