'95 Won't start
Got in the car today and the car clicked every time I tried to start. All the lighting, radio, etc electrical systems worked fine. Figured it was maybe the alternator or starter but I figured I would check the battery first. Battery was fine. Got it towed to NTB, they replaced the starter, no luck. The replaced the alternator, no luck. Replaced the battery, no luck.
They told me they think it might something with the electrical system.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Turn the lights on, and try to start the car. Do the lights dim?
If they dim, than your starter is probably Ok. The next thing to check is to turn the engine manually, and see if it turns freely. Also check your Coolant level, to make sure that you don't have an internal coolant leak.
If they don't dim than you have an electrical, or engine immobilizer issue.

Check the ignition system. Start with checking for spark. If there's spark proceed with the ignition coils. There are six, one for each cylinder. Hopefully, it's the front coils that need changing since the back three are a pain to access. Check the EFI fuse in the engine bay to make sure it's not blown. If it still won't start, check the Igniter. I hope you didn't pay the shop for all those parts they put in.
