Ok. I have a no crank on my 93 eclipse turbo. Thought it might be a starter due to just a single click everytime I turn the key to the start position. So I replaced it and I'm still getting the same single click when I try to start it. Are there any problem grounds on this year model I should check? I'm am by no means great at electrical. But I'm leaning towards that being the issue.
 
The "Start" part of your ignition switch could be bad. In other words, the "Ignition On" and "ACC" could still be ok but the "Start" could be bad.

The starter relay could be bad. That is under the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. I had mine jumpered for a while before totally bypassing it.

Then the clutch safety switch on the clutch pedal could be bad too, if you still have that. (the starter interlock switch)

In the Tampa area you could be having worse than average corrosion problems due to salt air. So that spade terminal that connects the "small" wire to the starter solenoid - since you've replaced the starter, the male part of it that is on the starter solenoid should be new, but the female part of it that is on the wire going to it, that female terminal on the wire might need to be replaced.
