Won't start, stuck in Park, and no Gauges!!!

I'm new to this forum but I have been a member of camaroz28.com for years. I have a 97 Jimmy that will only start once in a while. If I let it set maby a day or two it may start or may not. When it wont start it will turn over but I can't smell fuel of find fire, AND IT WON'T COME OUT OF PARK(so I can tow it) and none of the gauges work. the fuel pump comes on, as does the raido and all the lights. It's been doing this for a year but now getting worse!!! I did a quick search but could not find the symptoms I have. Any help would be appreciated.:banghead:

first thing to do would be to check all the fuses and relays as the guages might be have a fuse that blew or a bad wire causing them to not work. check the coil and see if there is spark and if so make sure you are getting gas into the fuel rail.

Found the problem!!!! Ingnition switch!!!! Found it throught a search. Great site. Thanks
