Well just because they are bad does not mean they wont spark. Just means they wont spark every time they are suposed to. I think it could be just one of them. Thats enough for it to stall.

 

You could take your started to a autozone near by and have them take a look, A starter drains alot more voltage than your electronics so try checking battery if thats the case get some jumper wires and buddy car let engine run to charge battery

 

well here another thought but I dont think this is the case since its summer but maybe your starter might have frozen up they usaly do this in winter but try banging it with hammer (softhead)

 

Yea thats what i told a few people on here to do. Well if hes not hearing the click from the solenoid then whats the point?

 

Great, now I feel like a jackass.

 

Clean the battery terminals before you do anything. I have found on most cars that if your cables are dirty the car will not start. Start with the easy stuff Good luck

All right let's start with the simple stuff. Clean terminals on the battery and ensure charge. Now once you are sure the terminals are clean and the battery is fully charged ensure all lights are off and attempt to start the car. Does the engine turn over at all? Does the starter go click click click? Is there no sound at all? The fact that everything cuts off and the car doesn't start says to me that you likely have a battery problem. That would be the first thing I check. Also if starting like that doesn't work and starting with someone trying to jump you doesn't work then take the negative terminal off the battery and hook the jumper cable up to the loose terminal and try to start like that. If it starts then the battery is toast and is absorbing more electricity than the person jumping you is making and you'll never get the car started (You MAY even kill his Alternator like that). Hope this helps a bit. Give me more info after trying these and I'll try to get you running again.
