Try an put the gear selector in neutral , could be a park neutral safety switch problem . If that doesn't do it ,maybe the starter relay .Do you know how to test electrical circuits with a voltmeter ? Voltage drop test the starter main battery cable . Starter Voltage Drop
Probably the starter. You would check for voltage at the starter with the key in the crank position. There is a neutral safety switch in that circuit that could fail, but it usually does not come and go. And you could crank it in neutral most times it the switch failed in park.
A safety device called the "neutral safety switch" will not allow you to start your car unless it is in Park or Neutral.If you start the car in neutral be careful it doesn't roll by applying the park brake.Then service the shifter-clutch to repair.
I may not be all the way in park or the safety neutral switch in not working. Did you try and start it in Neutral? Also move your shifter around while the key is engauged and see if it will start.
Neutral safety switch usually threaded into transmission, unless AW-4 model. Same switch used to trip back-up lights. Look for harness with approx 3-4 wires, unplug & unscrew switch from transmission.
