91 Starting Issue
Hey guys! Quick question before I dive into what I hope to be a simple problem
I have never had any issues starting, always fires up instantly without issue. This morning however, turned the key and nothing. All lights, radio etc come on, but it does nothing. Same as if I were say starting the car in gear, no sounds or anything. I messed around for a minute with it, tried starting in neutral etc and still nothing.
Would a starter die out that quick? Any ideas what to check?
Thanks in advance!

Hope it was isolated. Worth noting it rained in the car yesterday by accident.

Well, def VATS. This morning when key was in "on" position the security light was lit. Later in the day I went to the car, turned to "on" with no security light and you guessed it, fired right up.
Hope it was isolated. Worth noting it rained in the car yesterday by accident.

that surely didn't help but if it continues to happen your lock cylinder contacts might be getting a little tired, and it doesn't take much, keep it dry. hopefully it was a one time incident.
remember if the Vats doesn't like what it read it goes into a time out and wont start for around 10 min.

3 min. time out that's a lot less time then seemed to remember?
I can remember waiting what felt an Eternity for the VATS test tool to say it was ok to try the next Key code, when people would loose there keys and had no clue which chip they had.
