    Based on your description, it sounds like the ignition switch is bad--scanner can't communicate to the PCM (asks if key is on); starter motor does not crank, when the ignition switch is turned to START (only when the starter motor is jumped); and the engine suddenly died at a stop sign. To me, the weight of the evidence points to a bad ignition switch.

    Ignition switch problems are common with Hondas, but not Fords, on this site. Still, I would remove and check the switch for signs of wear, pitting, or melting. I would also check that all ignition switch harness connections are secure. It would be good to apply dielectric grease.

    Are you saying the starter solenoid works with the ignition switch?

I am not a parts replacer I have never used that type of method to make repairs and never will.Sorry I can not accept any more guesses from you.Thanks anyway! Doctors use this type of diagnosis but there patients sometimes DIE! Unexceptable!
