C5 corvette no start
So the cars been sitting for a few months, got it out several days ago and it’s been doing fine besides the starter sometimes clicks when you turn the key, I was gonna check the connections but didn’t get an opportunity. Today the clutch pedal got stuck for the first time ever about half way depressed, it would depress all the way to the floor but wouldn’t come all the way back got it to pop up and everything was good, parked the car went in a store. I tried to stick the key in the ignition and the ignition moved then wouldn’t take the key, got the key jiggled in and the ignition will turn and cause all the lights to cycle but the starter will not engage. I can hear the clicking from the immobilizer I can’t remember what the abbreviation is in the passenger footwell. Now after trying to keep turning it over multiple times the lights on the dash only turn on when I move the whole ignition to the left and hold it there. The check engine light stays on and the security light flashes sometimes, the windows won’t roll up, radio is dead until I move the ignition over. What would yall tell me to check?
