Do the old wiggle test on the battery cables, if it powers back up stick your head out the window and watch the battery terminals as you hit the key. On should pop and smoke a little if it does it again.

thanks guys, problems fixed. It was just something I over looked-- a short in one of the wires connecting to the IAC.
