The lock cylinder is the culprit here, if you look closely at the key when it's in the ignition you'll see that it's crooked so when it doesn't start the lock cylinder isn't turning far enough to engage the starter. I hope this helps. Take care.
you need an ignition switch. One way to figure it out is to turn the key to engage the starter, quickly........over and over, the "catch and start" will happen with no change and suddenly, its engaged. Or, keep the key in the START position, don't let up on it and hit the steering column with your fist, or the steering wheel. It may just be shorting out.
When you turn the key to start does the starter engage an spin the engine ? or nothing happens .
the lights and music come on but the motor will not start when I turn the key ??????? Will not start how ?
crank - no - start or no crank no start . ????????
check the coil pack or the ign switch below the ignition cyclinder.. since the ignition is in the console dirt (coffee) grim gets the connector fouled up sometimes.. check those first..
if those are fine check the starter .
sometimes when one replaces the ignition a small plastic part falls from the new ignition causing it not to fully engage-for fun turn key with a liitle firmness all the way to sart-sometimes with added pressure it engages-orthewise remove ignition for examination
when it won't start, use a test light on the solenoid wire (the small gauge wire) in the start position, you should have voltage. Also check your shift linkage to make sure the shift cable isn't keeping it from going into park position. try it in neutral position as well... that's a clue to a trans selector switch
