I believe that ASD relay is located directly behind my tipm with the three fan switch relays. I swapped around the relays when you had first mentioned it and it didn't change the outcome. Am I incorrect as far as a location for the ASD relay?
 
I don't think that the relay itself is 'bad', I just think that either there are more wiring problems or the PCM is keeping it off for some reason.
If the PCM detects a problem where starting the car could be an unsafe move, it will keep the relay off.
If the WIN module detects a key whose 4-digit code doesn't match the code stored in the WIN or PCM, it will initially cause a 'start/stall' condition or a no-start condition.
You want to try & hot-wire the ASD relay contacts & see what the car does. Make sure that the vehicle is in Park before trying this.
The inside of the relay box lid should tell you which one is the ASD.

Hey just to follow up. I did my research and homework on the automatic shutdown relay system from my 200. I ended up learning that when the car acts In such a manner as mine ways It was due to a lack of a good ground. He gets his ground from the PCM so the communication was off somewhere. Upon further research I discovered I needed to ground my ECU itself to the vehicle to produce a sufficient ground for the ASD system relay. Once's doing that the car started but unfortunately the engine flooded with gas because The fuel pressure regulator went bad. So I'm just waiting for my fuel pump to get here and once that goes in the car should be operational again!
 
Yes is a V6, long story short bought the car no problems at all sold it and it got impounded, when to pick it up the battery was leaking got a new one car started but had check engine light on and it felt like misfiring, check all the codes replaced all error codes, all 4 O2 sensors, crank shaft sensor, temperature sensor, spark plugs and coils deleted all codes car will crack but won’t start.
 
It would be very unusual for all those sensors to fail at the same time. If the PCM had fault codes for them, it might have been appropriate to diagnose it first. Fault codes for a sensor don't necessarily mean that the sensor is bad.

Were the spark plug tips black with carbon or wet with fuel? When it first ran, was it rich or smell like gas? Did it run well or rough? Is the engine oil level & condition OK?

They were black and were soak in fuel, oil level is on point
 
The same thing may have happened again. Pull a couple of plugs to look.
If they are wet, pull all the plugs to crank it over & dry out the cylinders. Find someone with a spark plug cleaner/sandblaster to clean & reinstall the plugs.

Hopefully, it will start. Run it until fully warmed up (radiator fan comes on).
It may be important to use OEM sensors. Some aftermarket sensors don't play well. You might consider putting the old parts back on? I have had trouble with Bosch O2 sensors. NGK/NTK are OEM.
The spark plugs should be Iridiums. Champion or NGK are typical OEM.
Champion RER8ZWYCB4 or NGK SILZKR7B11 recommended.
