Sounds like you've got a couple of blown fuses. Check in particular the ECM start fuse in the fuse box inside the car on the drives sided kick panel. It should be a red 10 amp fuse.
Also, we have this car and at times, when the oil level gets too low, it will turn but not start. Adding oil and pumping the gas while starting always gets it going again.

What causes the voltage gauge to fluctuate and the LCD to dim at idle on a 1990 Chevy Corvette even though the alternator has been replaced?
It's also possible that the battery is weak. Have the charging system -and- battery tested to ensure that the voltage isn't dropping below specified levels when the engine is at idle. Most alternators are designed not to engage or to begin generating power until the engine RPM's excede a certain value. This is because the alternator imposes quite a load on an engine, and could cause one to stall if engaged at idle. So the car electrical system, including the ignition, is running off of the battery at idle. Usually, the alternator will engage by 1200 RPM.
Can a loose positive battery cable prevent the alternator from charging the batter and can it cause a battery drain while the engine is not running?
Yes, a loose battery cable will prevent the alternator from charging the battery. The drain on the battery is not caused by the engine not running unless an accessory is left on. Most likely, the drain is caused by accessories (radio, lights, etc) while the engine is running due to the battery not receiving its charge from the alternator and then not having enough charge left to start the engine.
You have put two starters on a 1989 Nissan truck in the last month What could make the starters go bad?
This is a general that will cover most vehicles. I have found the major cause of repeat starter motor failiure is caused by the motor being energised when the engine is running. The most common cause of this problem is a faulty ignition switch, this causes current to flow to the starter motor when the engine is running. The way to test this is when the engine is running use a test light connected from the small terminal on the starter soleonoid to earth the test light should not light Good luck
