I would have to say "ignition switch", the other 2 are easier to access.
Check for power at the starter enable relay, during crank. That should help narrow it down.


Did you try another key, or clean the pellet on existing key ?
Here's info on 86 VATS

The clutch switch or gear selector switch, can also be added to the mix.
