If it's the ignition your vehicles motor will not turn over at all. If it does turn over it's either one of three things: battery, alternator, or starter. You can take your starter, battery and alternator to a local advance auto parts and they will test the charge for you. That will tell you what you need to know.
If it won't start!
Try the ignition switch.or the ignition module located usually near distributer
hey dude this is tatum.. try ur switch for your ignition .. some system involving ignition to solenoid ciruit system which involves starter engagment when key is inserted to ignition switch Outside chance that the flexplate maybe damaged or the starter is not "Shimmed" correctly and not allowing the starter toothed wheel to disengage. In some cases the starter may need to be "Shimmed" to move it away from the flexplate so that the gear does not get jammed. In any case, if you find the problem please let us know 8-) TommyTrouble
You will need to take out the parts of the ignition and put in new parts. It is usually best to trust a mechanic to do this for you.
It depends if the starter is turning the engine over and its not starting the problem is not with the starter its with your ignition or fuel system most likely, If your start is making a whirring sound then its not making contact with the flywheel and you probably need a new starter
if you're getting absolutely nothing, and the security light is on, then it is a bad VATS system. you need to replace the ignition tumbler and get new keys made.
Bad Starter. Bad Starter Relay. Bad Ignition Switch. Bad Ignition Module. Improper Ground.
Try taking it to a mechanic, they should tell you that you either need a new engine, or that you need a new part, to consist with the ignition.

I had to do this once. Look behind the engine by the firewall, you will see the starter, you will see a big wire and a small wire, unplug the small wire from the starter, get yourself a long peice of electrical wire, wrap one end around the small terminal on the starter, then turn the ignition on, then touch the other end on the positive battery cable then the engine should turn over, if it doesnt then you need a new starter.If it does most likely you need a new ignition switch or relay.
first check all of your fuses and relays. you may need a new starter or ignition switch
go to your local garage/mechanic and ask him/her to check the charge in your battery
