replace the battery? and when you turn the key, does it just go like a quite click? do the lights on the dash come on? it may be the Vats in your ignition. and welcome at AF.

i'd be inclined to check the ignition swtich out. The rods get bent very easily and won't throw the swtich all the way to the start position.
Also, double, triple check all you battery connections and cables.
