im officially lost (possible distributor or ignition relay issue), in the last month my car has seemed to developed some issues Options

so a month ago i busted the drivers side trans axle. got that replaced. than that same day i noticed that my battery wasn't holding a charge so i took to advanced auto my battery tested good but my alternator came back as having a open diode or something of the sort. in short it was draining the battery so it would be dead 30 to 40 min after the car was shut off. my car sat for a week till i had the new alternator. got it in and everything was ok it seemed to not wanna turn over so later that night discovered that my starter had went out. so my car say another two weeks than i got a new starter. went to pop start it earlier this evening and nothing it wouldn't do a thing and the battery was dead so i had a friend come over and charged that battery than hooked my celica to his jeep to give me a pull hoping it would start so i could drive it over to his house and we would fix it in the morning but needless to say it was a epic failure. we ended up checkin the battery, that alternator all that and as we listened we noticed that if i turned the kep to accessory or even to start whether i was trying to crank it over or not the distributor was running non stop and when my friend was checking the wires he got shocked pretty good. so im not exactly sure whats wrong but i figured id lay it out and ask for help. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance i just need to get this figured out before it drives me crazy

getting shocked could be because of bad plug wires, so you did good to change those.
Have you checked to see if the computer has recorded any diagnostic trouble codes?

and if when you said "distributor" you meant to say that the Starter was running non-stop (but if that were the case your starter would sure be dead by now), but maybe you have a problem in the starter relay or ignition switch.

im planning on changing spark plugs wires and the rest tomorrow or as soon as weather permits. but i ment the distributor. i turned the key to on after i charged the battery before i changed the icm and and i got out and listened to the distributor spinning. put the new icm and that stopped. switched the starter and efi relay just to see if maybe that was it and i could still hear the fuel pump kick on so idk but. ill gave to get a hold of my uncle and see if he has his obii scanner and go from there. ill try to keep this updated. thank you for the suggestions
