Could be the neutral safety switch, sometimes it will start in neutral and not in park. Check to see if the small wire on the solenoid is hot when you turn the key. I think it's blue/red.
It could also be a bad positive battery cable. Corrosion of the cable inside the battery connector can cause enough voltage drop to prevent starting. Check for voltage at the big red wire on the starter. If good, try to crank the engine. If the voltage drops to zero when you try to crank it, the battery cable is bad. Also check the functioning of the starting relay on the passenger side inside fender, near the power distribution box.
First let me say thank you to all who replied.It seem somewhere a long the line,a alarm was installed and removed before it was sold to me.After two shops and 275.00 later,a friend traced the problem to the netural safety circut. There is a circut on netural safety switch that feeds solenoid through ignition switch.Quick fix for now was to bypass netural safety from ign. switch to solenoid.Only draw back,it will start in any gear.When weather clears a little we are fix it right.Again thanks to all
