If you have another key, try it. If not, try cleaning your key and the tangs of the lock cylinder.

thanks i appreciate the help.

it's cranking over now just not starting so it may be the fuel pump ?

spray some starting fluid into the throttle body while cranking. if it fires then dies, you have a fuel delivery problem. if it doesn't fire at all, you probably have a spark problem.

i appreciate your help Genopsyde & i think i need a new fule pump. i don't hear the hum from the pump.

would you happen to know where the fuel pump relay switch is located or is there one?

I believe it's in the main power distribution center in the engine compartment.
