Re: 96 won,t start=
Try giving the starter a whack with a light hammer while somebody holds the key all the way over to "start", sometimes on GM's the starter will hang in a dead spot, jarring it will get it turning again.
My '97 went through a period of that a month or so ago, I was prepared to put a new starter on, but then it didn't do it anymore after I cleaned up the terminals at the starter. It'll probably wait for the coldest week in the winter to crap out...so I can lay on the ground and fix it... If the starter is cranking, ignore the above. If your friend has a spare key, try it. Sometimes it will contact differently if the VATS system is what's keeping it from starting. Otherwise, the usual suspects, IM, crank sensor, etc.
