It sounds like the solenoid is working but the starter is not. Check the wires on the starter. Possibly the starter has gone bad.
AnswerIt reads the position and/or speed of an engine as it is rotating. When crankshaft is turning, the sensor will provide a signal to the PCM. The PCM will then allow the engine to start by providing spark and fuel.
The cps other wise know as crank position sensor shows the ecm that the engine is turning over and then the ecm turns on the spark and the fuel to allow the car to start. If the cps is bad the ecm won't see the engine turning over so in turn it won't allow fuel our spark.
Check to see if you are getting fuel.

Well, in some cars the slight acidity of the rain could cause the engine to cut off the egnition twist switch. If you rub some PVA glue on the engine it should cancel out some of the acidity. Tell me if it works, as i have some more suggestions if not.
With a key, by turning on ignition
generally , cranking an engine is done with igniton where turning is done by hand with the ignition off so as it will not start
a bad starter
One of the ways of starting a diesel engine is turning the key to stat position without turning the engine on. The second step is to wait for the glow plugs to heat up.
pull the spark plug out and start turning the engine over and watch the water fly!
No tanks that i can think of ever used a key to start the main engine. Most starting procedures involved turning on the electronics then hitting the 2 master switches to start the engine.
probley weak fuel pump or injectors.
That is the check engine light, see related questions below.
may be a bad starter..... or if the engine is cranking with no start it could be the ignition wires
It shouldn't be
Hold the trip meter button in while turning the ignition to run position. Do not start the engine. Turn off key and then start the engine.
The starter could be bad. Or the battery. The starter could be bad. Or the battery.
