do the lights dim when you attempt to crank? battery terminals all good? if you just need to get it started, ask a buddy to wack the starter w a mallet whihc you attempt to crnak it over, if its the starter solenoid or starter, that may just get you home. also ensure it aint a relay by switching the fuel pump relay with anotehr of the same size

also, this should go to the 2nd gen subforum @Rick can this be moved so more may see it?
