Before I say ign switch, I would like to know what he did to cure it not starting. Then go from there.

the way i was able to turn it on was to charge the batt

OK, I vote sticky ign. switch too. The switch itself is under the steering column. You need to pull the lower dash panel to access it.

i will get a new one then thanks guys

You may not need a new one. It is operated mechanically with a rod from the key. It may be a problem with the rod at either end. These switches are very fool proof and rarely have any problems. I would suggest taking it apart first to determine more before buying parts.

i found the prob it was the starter relay shorting to the run side of the harness
thanks everyone
