Lost, Ran out of options- PLEASE HELP! Sign In

I have a 94 Pontiac Firebird 3.4 v6 146K. Yesterday at D&D drive throught the car sputtered a little, didnt think anything of it. As I left the drive through and headed up the road I went to give it gas and it just wasnt getting power, so I started to pull over and applied the breaks the car just died. I waited a few mins kinda puzzled and tried to start it back up, it would start for about 30 seconds then shut off-did that about 3 times before it decided not to crank over anymore. Thought maybe it could be the battery, but I still had my radio, power windows, headlights, & horn. So I ruled that out. Thought maybe it was the computer(ECM), so I purchased a new one- still no crank.

I got it home and started pondering around the car, tried Jump starting it & pop starting it. We have soon figured out that the PCM ignition fuse is not getting power. The only way we can get the car to crank or start is by jumping that fuse with a hot wire.

At this point we are frustrated and very unsure of what is going or not going on with this car. Please help! If I have left out any info out or you need to know more- Do Not Hesitate to ask!
Thankk you : )

Check to see if you have power at the airbag fuse#1 or the gages fuse #9.

They are all fed from the same buss bar so if they have power, the problem is in the fuse box.
If none of them have power, they are fed directly from the ignition switch.
