Default Problem with 93 Del Sol

I have a 93 Del Sol, Vtec with Automatic transmission. I have never had any problems with it until this morning. I was backing out of my parking space, and when I switched gears the car shut off and would not turn back on. The key will not do anything once turned past the first position, and after testing the leads, I found that my 'hot' wires had no power to them. My battery is new, and there are no blown fuses. I have no idea what my cause it to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do the headlights work?

Have you checked the battery ground wire? Is it loose or corroded?

Have you checked the battery connectors and posts? Are they corroded? Are the connectors loose?

What hot wire leads did you test?
