I don't know if your car has a VATS system like my '88, but it could be a problem with that or something similar. If the VATS gets activate on mine I just don't touch the key for 4-5 minutes, then try. Usually starts right up then.

Sounds like the VATS. If you have a spare set of keys, try them first. If that doesn't work, check your battery cable connections. Make sure they're all good and tight and not corroded. I doubt it's the starter. They normally give you warning when they're going.
