Nothing at all
Power going into the ignition switch...
Or the ignition switch itself. Or the mechanism between the key and switch.
Check the fusible links down near the starter. That is a common failure point.

Well i had a mobile mechanic come by as im srill new to working on cars myself. He says hes pretty positive its the ignition switch. He said the fusible li ks at the starter are fine and everything else looks good.

Maybe a vacuum leak? Mine is doing the same kinda thing right now but I did a hydroboost swap and I plugged the vaccum line that went to the booster but I need to plug it a little better because I'm sure I have a vacuum leak. Mine didnt die before the hydroboost swap and now it does.
That's the most common problem.
Usually it's a bad booster that leaks too much when the brakes are applied.
Happened to me a couple of times.
