Well, you can start properly cross-posting instead of posting two separate
messages with identical subject lines in unrelated groups. You're a newbie,
aren't you?

Two things to try: First, turn key on (but NOT to Start!) so Check Engine
light comes on. Wait for it to go off. Turn key off, then on again, wait,
then off. Repeat a dozen times. Now try to start.

Didn't work? Second method:

Listen VERY carefully to the area under the dash, to the left of the
steering wheel, as you turn the key.

1) Turn key to ON (but not start): Check Engine light comes on. You should
hear a CLICK from the EFI Main Relay
2) Check engine light goes off: Another CLICK from Main Relay
3) Turn key to START: Final CLICK from Main Relay.

Do you hear any of those clicks?

It may be helpful to put your hand under the dash behind the coin box and
touch the relay to feel the clicks.

If you hear all the clicks, start suspecting the ignition switch. How new
is your key? A worn key can cause this too.
