Hi to all,

I have a '98, and yesterterday it start with the same problem. Do some one resolve it? Check if your check engine light is comming on, when you move the ignition switch to the on position. Mine is not. Battery, alternator, stater, fuses, relays are ok

Friend had the same problem on his 01. Battery connection to the starter was corroded and loose. Cleaned it and reconnected it and checked grounds all around and it fired right up.
I had the same problem on my Chevy van except the starter went bad. Smaked it with a wrench and it started. Replaced it and drove it another 100K.

Good luck

Sure hope you find out what the culprit is soon. I know this can be very frustrating - especially when it is your only car. Let us know what you find.
