This is not a definite answer but things to check. Neutral switch, ignition switch (on top of steering wheel under dash), key tumbler (Mine had this problem) the two little wires can disintegrate and interrupt the signal or key resistance from your anti-theft key not to be recognized by your prom (CPU). Last but not least the starter. I would jump the starter with live current to check it first. Then I would check the neutral switch. If that doesn't work drop the steering wheel buy a new ignition switch and if it still doesn't work take the car to a dealer and have them order the right key tumbler and new ignition key and install it. Mine was about $60.00 plus labor. That's after I bought everything above and a new battery ($300.00) dollars later found out it was just one little wire from the key tumbler had denigrated. Good luck.

New battery needs a charge? Loose or corroded battery cable? Engine seized? Bad starter Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch?
