Do you know if car was in an accident or was submerged in water? Sounds like an electrical problem.

Not that i know of. car fax was clean and didn’t have any water damage or frame damage. changing the ignition switch this week. but very frustrating issue. if that doesnt solve the problem im all out of ideas.

It does sound like ignition lock issue. Hondas known for them.
Also, it sort of looks like fuses are shortened. On our 96 Civic, that simply dies on us one day – at around 260 000 miles – I found that all fuses have common metal plate as negative, right underneath the fuse block base. When I removed fuse box, most of it was in various stages of oxidization.
Main relay needs to be checked, as it controls a lot of start related devices.
And, btw:

When you write in all capital letters, this looks (and maybe sounds) to many a recipient as if you were shouting.
