Re: Starting Issue

If you heard no click from the starter, the starter is probably good so no need to bang it.

The possibilities are that the security system is preventing the starting or the neutral safety switch is going.

Clean your key as best as possible. The security system reads the preset resistance in the "chip". The flashing light on the dash --- "security" should go solid if the key is accepted after turning the ignition to on. If not that's where your problem is.
The neutral safety switch enforces that you only start the car in Park or Neutral. Try wiggling the shift lever to see if the problem is there.
